HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696194 View Materials , female, collected on the Watson River , 13.20S, 141.47E ( USBGN, 1957), northern Queensland, Australia, on 3 July 1914. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews apparently had two specimens of flaviventer from the Watson River and, in the original description, designated the specimen collected on 3 July 1914 as the type. He mentioned no other locality and did not catalog these specimens. The paratype in AMNH is: AMNH 696193, male juvenile, collected on 16 July 1914. Both of these specimens surely were collected by W.R. McLennan who was collecting for W.D.K. MacGillivray (1917: 76–79) on the Watson River in July 1914. The handwriting on both labels appears to be that of McLennan and the legs are tied together above the tibiotarsal joint, as is frequently characteristic of his specimens. MacGillivray (1918: 206–207, under Xanthotis filigera ) said: ‘‘Mr. M’Lennan noted a few on the Archer.’’ The Watson River is a tributary of the Archer.
