Stigmatops indistincta ouida Mathews, 1912d: 98 (Cairns) .

Now Lichmera indistincta ocularis (Gould, 1838) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 347, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 305–306, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 661– 662.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694187 About AMNH , adult male, collected on the Barron River , Queensland, Australia, on 1 June 1912, by the Dodds. From the Mathews Collection (no. 13840) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. Mathews consistently recorded the locality as ‘‘ Cairns’ ’ for specimens labeled ‘‘ Barron River’ ’ and it is not certain exactly where they were collected. The Barron River enters the ocean at Cairns, but the family home of the Dodds was on the Atherton Tableland at Kuranda, on the middle Barron. The holotype bears the original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. There are seven paratypes in AMNH: collected on the Barron River by the Dodds in 1912, AMNH 694186 About AMNH (Mathews no. 13252), male, 1 June ; AMNH 694188 About AMNH (13253), male, 1 June ; AMNH 694189 About AMNH (13255), female, 7 May ; AMNH 694190 About AMNH , 694191 About AMNH (13839), females, 20 June ; collected at Cairns by P. Schraeder in 1908, AMNH 694193 About AMNH (3121), male ; AMNH 694194 About AMNH (3122), female. In Mathews’ catalog, no. 13254 is a female listed as collected on 1 June ; this could be an error in copying the date and might apply to one of the females collected on 20 June, for which there is only one number, or might refer to an additional specimen that was later exchanged by Mathews.
