SI Dr. McDunnough states (in lift.) : "Regarding the type of ontariella Bethune, I have no 

 information. It is certainly not in Ottawa and I imagine that most of Bethune's types 

 have been destroyed by Dermestes. . . . What remains of his collection has been scattered 

 about, but Dr. Ide of the Royal Ontario Museum who went over the specimens stated that 

 there were no types amongst them."
