Pristoderus dissimilis ( Sharp, 1886)

( Figs. 251–253 View FIGURES 244–252 View FIGURES 253–261 )

Ulonotus dissimilis Sharp, 1886: 387 , pl. 12, fig. 18. Broun 1893b: 1081 (reprinted excerpt of Sharp 1886: 387). Hutton 1904: 168. Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 38.

Pristoderus dissimilis: Implied combination based on Ulonotus as a junior synonym of Pristoderus in Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 9.

Pristoderus dissimilis: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Bealey [Greymouth and Picton also given in original description].

Broun number: 1926.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined but stated he was sent “an example from Captain Broun (with the No. 109 attached),” which “was found in numbers at Bealey and Picton by Helms,” and is conspecific with a specimen that Reitter sent “some time ago from Greymouth…” In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and 15 paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Ulonotus dissimilis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): mounted on same card as 3 paralectotypes, left-most specimen is the lectotype, “ Ulonotus dissimilis . Types D.S. Bealey. N. Zeal d. Helms. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // BMNH (E) #651706” . Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 3, mounted on same card as lectotype, left-most specimen is the lectotype, right-most specimen is mounted venter-up, labels same as lectotype . Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 4, mounted together on same card and pin, “ Ulonotus dissimilis D.S. Bealey N.Z. Helms 1886 [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 4, mounted together on same card and pin, “ Ulonotus dissimilis Picton Helms 1884 [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 2, mounted together on same card and pin, “ Picton , New Zealand. Helms. // Ulonotus dissimilis [in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “Nov Zeeland Helms. Reitter [with black border] // Greymouth , New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “109 // Ulonotus dissimilis . Tairua Broun [in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
