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

Type locality: Ashburton.

Broun number: 2499.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on two specimens from Ashburton. Two specimens labeled “ Canterbury ” with “Ashburton” hand-written underneath were located in the BMNH. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Coxelus regularis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2499. [in Broun’s hand] // Canterbury [topside, in Broun’s hand] Ashburton [underside, in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Coxelus regularis [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted venter-up, “2499. [in Broun’s hand] // Canterbury [topside, in Broun’s hand] Ashburton [underside, in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Coxelus regularis [in Broun’s hand]” .
