COMMENTS:
Mathews
cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range of the form as ‘‘
North-West
Australia
,
Northern Territory
.’’ A large number of specimens from the
Kimberley
in
Western Australia
and from
Northern Territory
were in the
Mathews Collection
when
inexpectatus
was named and all become
paratypes
;
some of them are also
paratypes
of
P. m. tormenti
(see below).
Paratypes
of
inexpectatus
are: collected by
J.T. Tunney
(but received by
Mathews
from
WAM
),
200 miles
from
Derby
,
AMNH 699053
(
Mathews
no. 5293)
;
collected by
J.P. Rogers
,

,
AMNH 699054– 699058
(8471–8473, 8475, 8476)
;
Manguel

Marngle
)
Creek
,
AMNH 699059
(9206),
AMNH 699060

AMNH 699073–699075
,

Mathews’
catalog and do not consider them
paratypes
:
AMNH 699045–699047
collected on the
South Alligator River
in
April and June 1903
by
Tunney
(
Mathews
probably received these via
WAM
)
;

collected on the
Forrest River
on
1 September 1911
by
C.P. Conigrave
;
or
AMNH 699087
collected in pine forest,
Northwest
Australia
by L.McK. Burns. Specimens collected by
T.H. Bowyer-Bower
at
Derby
in 1886 were not cataloged by
Mathews
until 1913
.
