Type Information
Type locality: King George's Sound Darwin [Western Australia]; (Harvey 1849: 109)TCD?; Notes: Wilks & Woelkerling (1991: 529) note that the type appears to be missing. The specimen from King George Sound, Western Australia, upon which Harvey (1849) based the protologue of Melobesi darwinii could not be found. The status and disposition is in doubt, but from the description it is almost certainly not a Melobesia.
