Pristoderus wakefieldi (Sharp, 1877)

( Figs. 306–308 )

Enarsus wakefieldi Sharp, 1877a: 190 . Broun 1880: 199. Sharp 1886: 388. Broun 1893b: 1089. Hutton 1904: 169. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 36. Hudson 1934: 59.

Pristoderus wakefieldi: Implied combination based on synonymy of Enarsus with Pristoderus in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 406.

Pristoderus wakefieldi: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Peel Forest .

Broun number: 356.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined, but stated they were collected in March, 1874. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Enarsus wakefieldi . Three additional specimens associated with the lectotype were located in the BMNH, but due to incorrect locality information (“Oxford”) and lack of Sharp handwriting on the card, we do not regard these as syntypes.

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Enarsus Wakefieldi 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) #651714”.
