HOLOTYPE: AMNH 572959 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Gracemere , 23°27′S, 150°27′E ( Storr, 1984b: 183), Queensland, Australia, on 25 March 1882. From the Mathews Collection (no. 14623) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: The Mathews Collection number of the holotype was cited in the original description. This specimen bears the Mathews and the Rothschild type labels and a field label without a collector’s name. It was from an 1881–1882 collection of 116 Queensland specimens that Mathews received from Prof. Robert Collett in November 1912.

In the original description, the range was given as Queensland. Only one other Queensland specimen that had been in the Mathews Collection came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It is AMNH 572960 (Mathews no. 14624), a male, collected at Taranganbar, Queensland, on 18 February 1882, and was the only other specimen of this taxon that Mathews received from Collett. It is a paratype.
