Notocoxelus dubius: Implied combination based on the erection of the genus Notocoxelus ( Ślipiński and Lawrence, 1997: 404) .

Type locality: Auckland and Tairua .

Broun number: 350.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined sent to him “…from Auckland and Tairua by Mr. Lawson and Captain Broun.” In the BMNH, there is one specimen from Auckland with “Ind. typ.” another specimen with “N Zeal d ” and “type” written at the base of the cards, both of which bear “Greymouth, New Zealand, Helms” labels, probably attached in error. There are a number of other specimens in the BMNH from Greymouth with Sharp’s handwriting at the base of the card-mount, but we do not regard these as part of the syntypic series due to the discrepancy in type locality. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Coxelus dubius .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Coxelus dubius Type N. Zeal d D.S. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Greymouth, New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // NZl- Greymouth [handwritten in red pen] // BMNH (E) #651718” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Coxelus dubius Ind. typ. Auckland D.S. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth. New Zealand [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
