Ablabus brevis Broun, 1882: 292 . Broun 1886: 763 (reprinted from Broun 1882). Broun 1886: 894. Hetschko 1930: 37. Maddison 2010: 426 (incorrectly attributed to “ Broun 1886 ”).

Notoulus brevis: Hutton 1904: 168 . Broun 1912: 420. Broun 1914a: 97. Hudson 1923: 368.

Type locality: Tairua (Auckland) .

Broun number: 1353.

Remarks: The description of this species was re-printed in Part III of Broun’s Manual of New Zealand Coleoptera (1886: 763) . Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Ablabus brevis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): mounted on same acetate card as paralectotype, top specimen is the lectotype, “Type [round label with red border] // 1353. [green label] // Tairua // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Notoulus brevis - [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): mounted on same acetate card as lectotype, bottom specimen is a paralectotype, mounted venter-up, labels same as lectotype .
