HOLOTYPE: AMNH 251416 About AMNH , adult female, collected on Kandavu Island , Fiji, on 3 November 1924 by Jose Correia and Rollo H. Beck on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 15321).

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave measurements of 11 adult males and 6 adult females. Paratypes are: AMNH 223663, male adult, AMNH 223664, male immature, AMNH 251414 and 251415, females, AMNH 251417, male immature, AMNH 251418, female, AMNH 251419 and 251420, male adults, AMNH 251422, female, AMNH 251423, male adult, AMNH 251424–251426 and 251428, male adults, AMNH 251430, male adult, AMNH 251431, female, and AMNH 251456 and 251457, male adults. Of these, AMNH 251424 and 251330 were exchanged with ZMB in July 1936. There is a discrepancy in the catalog entries for this form. Apparently AMNH 251421 was never placed on a specimen and, as a consequence, the data for AMNH 251422–251426 were shifted down one number. AMNH 251426bis and 251427 are not in the collection and there are no remarks concerning their disposition in the catalog.

On Kandavu Island, the Whitney Expedition ship France anchored in Nakasaleka Bay (5 Kasaleka Bay), 18.57S, 178.23E (USBGN, 1974c) (unpublished journal of J. Correia, AMNH Department of Orntihology Archives).
