Remarks.

Pfeiffer described this species from specimens collected by Mr. Bridges [a son-in-law of H. Cuming]; he did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The material was likely deposited in the Cuming collection and one specimen corresponds to Reeve’s figure. The material is herein considered as probable syntypes. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 29).
