COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and said that the range of darbiski was ‘‘ North-West Australia.’’ In addition to Rogers’ label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 541, left fig., opp. p. 562, text p. 566), where it is confirmed as the type of darbiski.
