Bothriembryon rhodostomus perspectus Iredale, 1939 Fig. 6F

Bothriembryon rhodostomus perspectus Iredale 1939: 21, pl. 2 fig. 7; Wells 1977: 54; B.J. Smith 1992: 107.

Type locality.

[Western Australia, Recherche Archipelago] "Woody Isle".

Label.

"Woody I / Recherche Arch’o / WA".

Dimensions.

"length, 31 mm by 17 mm., and 30 mm. by 18 mm."; figured specimen H 34.5, D 20.0, W 5.9.

Type material.

AM C100719, syntype; WAM S15117, two syntypes, A.F. Basset Hull leg., 1921.

Remarks.

Iredale (1939) gave two sets of measurements. The specimen in the AM collection does not confirm to these measurements, but bears an original label with the indication “type”; we consider it a syntype but not the holotype. The possible subspecific status of this taxon needs further confirmation.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon rhodostomus (Gray, 1834).
