Petrogale herberti Thomas, 1926 View in CoL View at ENA

Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (ser. 9) 17: 626. (1 June 1926).

Common name. Herbert’s Rock-wallaby.

Current name. Petrogale herberti Thomas, 1926 ; following Jackson & Groves (2015).

Paratype. M.3885 by subsequent determination. Female , skull, study skin, previously BMNH No. 1925.8.1.63 (collectors No. 345), collected by G. H. Wilkinson 3 March 1924 from Westwood near Rockhampton alt. 500 ft, Qld, Australia. Received from the BM in 1926, registered in AM February 1927 .

Comments. Thomas (1926) states that he examined 17 specimens from the type locality of Eidsvolt, the rest from Westwood. In addition to the holotype, 16 specimens were registered in the BMNH and these probably comprised 1922.12.29.6–8, 10–13 (7 specimens) and 1925.8.1.55–63 (9 specimens), so there is little doubt that M.3885 is a paratype (P. Jenkins, BMNH, pers. comm. 18 February 2014) .
