CommentConservation: The species is known only from four specimens: two specimens from Erromango collected in 1859 or 1860 (type locality) by Cuming (BMNH) and a third one collected on the same island in August 1971 in Marshall’s tent, on the site of Nuangkau camp. A fourth specimen from AMNH was col- lected on Anatom but was not reported by Medway and Marshall in 1975. 
EtymologyNamed after Albert Günther (1830-1914), German-born zoologist at the British Museum.
