Hi Peter,

I am sure that you will find the examination of the two specimens very interesting. Just a point of clarification. The specimen that I found in 1983 is not the type specimen but the first (and only) Australian specimen. The (holo)type specimen is one of the six collected off Vanuatu in 1927. The other 5 are paratype specimens.


Regards

Greg Clancy
