Enarsus rudis Sharp, 1877a: 191 . Broun 1880: 200. Hutton 1904: 170. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 36.

Pristoderus rudis: Implied combination based on synonymy of Enarsus with Pristoderus in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 406. Pristoderus rudis: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Christchurch.

Broun number: 357.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined; however, we located three specimens with the same card and pin stock, though the minutens pins varied in placement through the specimen. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and two paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Enarsus rudis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): minuten-pinned into card, “ Enarsus rudis Type D.S. New Zealand. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // BMNH (E) #651715” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Enarsus rudis D.S. New Zealand [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): minuten-pinned venter-up into card with abdomen and legs glued to card, “ Enarsus rudis D.S. Nov. Zeal. Murray. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
