COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of tregellasi as ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Tregellas’ original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1925a: pl. 549, opp. p. 62, text p. 63), where it is confirmed as the type of tregellasi. The following specimens are paratypes: Warunda Creek , Eyre Peninsula , AMNH 696373 View Materials ( Mathews no. 9582), male, 27 August 1911, AMNH 696374 View Materials (9581), male, 2 September 1911, AMNH 696375 View Materials (9583), female, 25 August 1911, AMNH 696376 View Materials (9585), sex?, 25 August 1911 ; Arno Bay , AMNH 696377 View Materials (9586), female, 8 September 1911 ; Lake Greenly , AMNH 696378 View Materials (9584) male, 29 August 1911 ; Phillip Island , AMNH 696383 View Materials (8535), female, 19 January 1911 ; Ringwood , AMNH 696387 View Materials (3377), female, 25 October 1908 ; Bayswater , AMNH 696390 View Materials (8138), female, 12 November 1910, AMNH 696391 View Materials (10067), female immature, 20 October 1911 ; Mitcham, AMNH 696407 View Materials (10066), sex?, 17 June 1911. The following specimens were collected early enough but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when they came into his possession: AMNH 696372 View Materials , male, Port Lincoln , November 1865 ; AMNH 696389 View Materials , male, Olinda , 7 April 1909 ; AMNH 696401 View Materials , male, Brighton, 1881 ; AMNH 696408 View Materials , male, Mordialloc, 1896 ; AMNH 696410 View Materials , male, Wonga Park , 1 September 1907 ; AMNH 696411 View Materials , female, St. Remo, 13 August 1900. The following four specimens were collected by [C.F.] Cole: AMNH 696399 View Materials , male, Auburn , 14 July 1896 ; AMNH 696403 View Materials , male, Croydon , 4 April 1907 ; AMNH 696404 View Materials , male, Lang Lang , 9 May 1908 ; AMNH 696405 View Materials , female, Lang Lang , 14 April 1909. While Mathews did catalog a few specimens that Cole sent him earlier, apparently most of his collection came to Mathews in 1914 ( Whittell, 1954: 158), after Mathews had ceased to catalog specimens and too late for him to have had them by the 31 January 1912 publication date of tregellasi. These were not among the specimens cataloged earlier and I do not consider them paratypes. Other specimens in AMNH are either undat- ed, were collected too late, or were never in the Mathews Collection .
