Ablabus pallidipictus Broun, 1880: 185 . Hetschko 1930: 37. Maddison 2010: 426.

Notoulus pallidipictus: Hutton 1904: 168 . Hudson 1923: 368.

Type locality: Parua Bay [vicinity ofWhangarei Harbour] .

Broun number: 327.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on four specimens from Whangarei Harbour, but only two specimens were located in the BMNH. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Ablabus pallidipictus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): mounted on acetate card with green strip at base, “Type [round label with red border] // 327. [green label] // Parua. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Notoulus pallidipictus [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): “327. [green label] // Parua // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482.”
