Type Information
Syntype localities: Iles Kei (leg. Tissot van Patot); Thursday Island (leg. H. A. Lorentz); (INA 1996) Lectotype: L; 941.182-181 (barcode L 0535509) * (Huisman et al. 2011: 3, fig. 1 (central specimen)) Notes: * Several specimens are mounted on the sheet but the one in the top right corner is the specimen depicted in Weber-van Bosse (1910: pl. XVII, fig 1) as the 'probably typical form' and this is designated as the lectotype. Syntype localities: Given as 'Iles Kei' [Kai Islands, Indonesia] in the protologue, but possibly an error as the only specimens in L that are not from Thursday island are labelled as from 'Aro Eilanden' [Aru Archipelago] (some 160 km to the east of the Kai Islands), [A] Tissot van Patot (L 05355090; Thursday I. [Australia], 18 Nov. 1907, H.A. Lorentz (L 0535510).
