Antaresia maculosa brentonoloughlini Hoser, 2004 [synonym of Antaresia maculosa]

Holotype:

AM R16772.

Type locality:

16 km east of Coen, Queensland, Australia.

Remarks:

Hoser (2004) separated this taxon from the nominate subspecies "by its greater preponderance of light colouration relative to dark blotches on the dorsal surface" ( Hoser 2004), stating that the nominate form would "have roughly half to half (50:50) dark versus light blothes" whereas the ra tio in this taxon "is generally at least 60% light colour to 40% or less darker blotches" ( Hoser 2004), and by larger average size.
