Anellobia chrysoptera intermedia Mathews

Anellobia chrysoptera intermedia Mathews, 1912a: 419 (South Australia).

Now Anthochaera chrysoptera chrysoptera (Latham, 1801) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 446, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 297–298, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 620–621.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696473 , sex?, collected at Adelaide , 34.56S, 138.36E (Times Atlas), South Australia, Australia, on 24 June 1897. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3386) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of intermedia as ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to a Mathews Collection label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The following, all collected at Frankston, are paratypes: AMNH 696475 (Mathews no. 4962), female, 13 April 1909, collected by L.G. Chandler ; AMNH 696476 (3382), sex?, 12 June 1908, by C.F. Cole ; AMNH 696477 , 696479 (apparently share no. 5057), sex?, 21 April 1908, by T. Tregellas ; AMNH 696478 (5058), sex?, 12 March 1909. The following are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 696474 , male, Frankston, 5 October 1908, by Chandler ; AMNH 696480 , female, Brighton, 1881, by St. John ; AMNH 696481 , sex?, Somerville, 20 November 1906, by Cole .
