Current status: Amyotea reciproca (Walker, 1867) (see Schouteden 1907: 54).

Notes: Thomas (1994: 158) mentioned “Walker’s material was examined in the BM(NH).”, without further detail. The long label from Walker’s catalogue reads: “ ASOPUS RECIPROCUS. ” While this is not the original combination, this is the one used by Walker (1868: 534). The handwritten “N” on the disc label was the way Charles M. Allen, Alfred R. Wallace’s assistant recorded “New Guinea ” (Baker 1996: 173). The second specimen, presented by William W. Saunders to the Museum in 1865, was collected early in 1861 by Charles M. Allen, as well; the handwritten “S” on the disc label may stand for Sorong or “Saylee” [Sele] (Baker 1996: 195).
