  I 
  have 
  examined 
  one 
  specimen 
  collected 
  Jmie 
  16, 
  1948, 
  by 
  Dr. 
  

   Robert 
  R. 
  Miller 
  in 
  "a 
  submerged 
  canoe 
  on 
  a 
  sand 
  bar 
  in 
  Little 
  

   Lagoon, 
  northeast 
  end 
  of 
  Groote 
  Eylandt, 
  Gulf 
  of 
  Carpentaria, 
  

   Australia." 
  The 
  color 
  when 
  alive 
  was 
  as 
  follows: 
  "The 
  pale 
  bars 
  

   were 
  coral 
  pink, 
  with 
  narrow 
  emerald 
  borders; 
  the 
  dark 
  bars 
  were 
  

   velvet-black."
