Description: | 'New Holland' This specimen is from William Hunter's collection which was utilised by Fabricius and Olivier in describing many new species. The collection contains types from other contemporary entomologists such as Drury.
These butterflies were seen and commented on by Harish Gaonkar in November 2003, as part of his research on Oriental/Austalasian butterflies.
Fabricius apparently distributed specimens between the major London collectors and retained some himself. Hunter's cabinet therefore contains 'duplicate' material from Banks, etc. (pers. comm., H. Gaonkar) and so the type series can be and are sometimes split. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LEPIDOPTERA : ARTHINSECT : ACRAEIDAE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
