Pristoderus aberrans ( Broun, 1880)

( Figs. 217–218 View FIGURES 217–225 )

Ulonotus aberrans Broun, 1880: 189 . Broun 1886: 949. Waterhouse 1884: pl. 149. Hutton 1904: 168. Hudson 1923: 368. Recyntus aberrans: Hetschko 1930: 56 .

Pristoderus aberrans: Combination by Hudson 1934: 58. Maddison 2010: 426.

Pristoderus abberans: Hudson 1934: 58 . Incorrect subsequent spelling, not available.

Type locality: Tairua, Whangarei Heads.

Broun number: 338.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on three specimens, two from Tairua and one from Whangarei Heads, but only one matching these localities was located. Broun remarked that he sent material of this species to Sharp, who informed him it was not U. lawsoni . It is possible the other two syntypes are amongst Sharp’s material at the BMNH. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Ulonotus aberrans .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 338 [green label] // Tairua [in Broun’s hand] // Ulonotus aberrans . [in Broun’s hand]”.
