suteri Carl, 1902: 629-631 View in CoL , pl. 11, figs 50-52 [ Icosidesmus ].
Neuseeland, Nordinsel, Suter (Basler Museum). Two ♂ and one ♀.
The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18628). The specimen has a pin running the length of the body. The identification labels in the jar have “ Nelle Zélande Suter” and “ ♂ type Nlle Zélande (Nord) Suter” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimen is a syntype. The MHNG also has a microscope slide preparation of gonopods and legs (MHNG-ARTO-18629); it is not clear if these belong to the specimen in alcohol or to the other ♂ syntype. There are two ♀ regarded as syntypes in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00469a), implying that the sex of the specimens given in the original description might be incorrect.
