It is the only specimen in AMNH collected on that date and it bears in addition to White’s original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The Mathews type label bears the annotation ‘‘ Figured’ ’ and Mathews’ catalog number ‘‘12324,’’ although that number was not given in the original description. The following four AMNH specimens collected by S.A. White at Myponga in 1912 are paratypes: AMNH 692151 About AMNH (Mathews no. 12325, White no. 620), 22 March, AMNH 692153 About AMNH (12328, 618), 24 March, males ; AMNH 692154 About AMNH (12327, 621), 21 March, AMNH 692155 About AMNH (12326, 619), 22 March, females .
