Notocoxelus similis ( Sharp, 1876) NEW COMBINATION

( Figs. 208–210 View FIGURES 208–216 )

Coxelus similis Sharp, 1876: 20 . Sharp 1877c: 393 (reprinted from Sharp 1876). Broun 1880: 196. Broun 1882: 295. Broun 1886: 766 (reprinted from Broun 1882). Broun 1886: 949. Broun 1895: 194. Hutton 1904: 169. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 47. Kuschel 1990: 33, 63. Maddison 2010: 426.

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

Type locality: Auckland .

Broun number: 351.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined. The specimen in the BMNH bears bears a hand-written “NZl- Greymouth” label, probably attached in error. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Coxelus similis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Coxelus similis Type N. Zeal d D.S. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Sharp Coll 1905-313. // NZl- Greymouth [handwritten in red pen] // BMNH (E) #651717” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Coxelus similis Ind. typ. N. Zeald D.S. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
