HOLOTYPE: AMNH 768363 , adult female, collected at Barrio Patoc , 11°05′N, 124°52′E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 423), Dagami , Mt. Lobi, Leyte Island, Philippines, on 27 July 1961, by Godofredo L. Alcasid and Manuel Celestino.

COMMENTS: Parkes (1971: 22) cited the AMNH number of the type in the original description, gave the range of this taxon as Samar, Leyte, and Bohol islands, and stated that he examined a total of nine specimens, including the holotype. Only one of the paratypes, AMNH 768361, a male, is currently held. AMNH 768362, an immature male, was returned to the Philippine National Museum, but, if examined by Parkes, it is also a paratype.
