Antaresia maculosa brentonoloughlini Hoser, 2004 [synonym of Antaresia maculosa]
Holotype:
AM R16772.
Type locality:
16 km east of Coen, Queensland, Australia.
Remarks:
Hoser (2004) separated this taxon from the nominate subspecies "by its greater preponderance of light colouration relative to dark blotches on the dorsal surface" (Hoser 2004), stating that the nominate form would "have roughly half to half (50:50) dark versus light blothes" whereas the ra tio in this taxon "is generally at least 60% light colour to 40% or less darker blotches" (Hoser 2004), and by larger average size.
