COMMENTS: Rothschild and Hartert gave Eichhorn’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. Hartert (1925: 133), in his report on Eichhorn’s New Ireland collection, noted that nine specimens were collected, but Eichhorn’s field numbers were not listed. Eight of these specimens came to AMNH. The seven paratypes in AMNH are: males, AMNH 697197 About AMNH (Eichhorn no. 8839), 5 December 1923 ; AMNH 697198 About AMNH (8878), 17 December 1923 ; AMNH 697199 About AMNH (8939), 3 January 1924 ; females, AMNH 697201 About AMNH (9001), 26 January 1924 ; AMNH 697202 About AMNH (8829), 1 December 1923 ; AMNH 697203 About AMNH (9023), 5 February 1924 ; AMNH 697204 About AMNH (9036), 8 February 1924 .
