COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, and gave the range as Kangaroo Island. The following specimens from Kangaroo Island are paratypes: Tin Hut, AMNH 720063 – 720065 (Mathews nos. 12355 – 12357), two females, one sex?, 13 April 1912, S. A. White (nos. 707, 708, 729); Mount Taylor, AMNH 720066 (12358), female, 15 April 1912, S. A. White (no. 705); near Hog Bay, AMNH 720067 (3468), female, 30 December 1897, no original label. Schodde and Mason (1999: 744 – 745) gave reasons for recognizing samueli and they were followed by Dickinson (2003: 732); Payne (2010: 353) considered S. bella monotypic.
