Treatment

Pristoderus lawsoni ( Wollaston, 1873)

( Figs. 268–269 View FIGURES 262–270 )

Tarphiomimetes lawsoni Wollaston, 1873: 11 . Sharp 1877b: 268. Sharp 1877c: 391 (reprinted from Sharp 1876). Broun 1880: 189. Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 9.

Ulonotus lawsoni: Sharp 1876: 18 . Broun 1886: 949. Hutton 1904: 168. Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 38.

Pristoderus lawsoni: Implied combination based on Ulonotus as a junior synonym of Pristoderus in Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 9. Pristoderus lawsoni: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Auckland .

Broun number: 337.

Remarks: Wollaston did not mention the number of specimens examined. Sharp (1876: 18) moved this species to the genus Ulonotus . Ivie and Ślipiński (1990: 9) also designated this species as the type species for the genus Tarphiomimetes Wollaston. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from a single specimen we believe is the type of Tarphiomimetes lawsoni .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Tarphiomimetes Lawsoni, Woll. (Nov. Zealandia) [in Wollaston’s hand]”.
