COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. Three additional specimens from the Coongan River are paratypes: AMNH 720267–720269 (Mathews nos. 3481–3483), males, collected 9–13 July 1908, by Whitlock. AMNH 720263 (3479), male, and AMNH 720264 (3480), female, from the Strelley River, collected in August 1907, are possible paratypes, but Mathews did not mention that locality.
