HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 659405
, female, collected at
Olinda
,
37.51S
,
145.22E
(
USBGN
, 1957),
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
11 May 1907
, by
Thomas H. Tregellas. From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 4908) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. He cataloged three Tregellas specimens at the same time, but I consider only one of the other
two specimens
a
paratype
:
AMNH 659404
(Mathews no. 4909), male, collected
9 May 1908
at Olinda. A second
paratype
is
AMNH 659427
(Mathews no. 2726), an unsexed specimen collected in Gippsland,
Victoria
, on
17 July 1886
, and received from Ashby.
AMNH 659424
, male juvenile, collected
28 December 1908
at
Sassafras
by
Tregellas
may also be a
paratype
;
its data do not match the data in
Mathews’
catalog for the third specimen and I did not find it elsewhere in his catalog, but
Mathews
frequently did not catalog juvenile specimens.
The
third specimen, opposite catalog no. 4910, is listed as a male collected on
20 December 1908
and the locality ‘‘
Olinda’
’ is dittoed from the other
two specimens
.
Probably
, a specimen with data matching this entry was once in
Mathews’
collection and was exchanged to persons unknown
;
if found, it is a
paratype
of
tregellasi
.
AMNH 659406
and 659407 (no. 11689, only one entry), collected on
6 October 1910
on
Mt. Dandenong
were collected before he described
tregellasi
but not cataloged by
Mathews
until
November 1912
, long after the description was published.
The
following
four specimens
were not found entered in
Mathews’
catalog and are not considered
paratypes
:
AMNH 659408
, an undated specimen collected in the
Dandenong Range
by
Chandler
;
AMNH 659423
, male, collected
24 November 1911
at
Lorne
by
J. Ross
;
AMNH 659425
and
AMNH 659426
, collected at
Lang Lang
, but undated
.
