Phormesa costicollis Reitter, 1880c: 174 . Broun 1910b: 38. Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 23.

Bitoma costicollis: Implied combination based on synonymy of Phormesa with Bitoma View in CoL in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 361. Bitoma costicollis: Maddison 2010: 426 (attributed to Reitter, although author and year were not in parentheses).

Type locality: Greymouth.

Broun number: 3085.

Remarks: Reitter did not mention the number of specimens examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and seven paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Phormesa costicollis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( MNHN): card-mounted, “Now. Zeeland Helms Reitter. [label bordered with thin black line] // Phorm. Costicollis m [in Reitter’s hand] // Phormesa costicollis Rtt & SYNTYPES [red label, in S.A. Ślipiński’s hand]” . Paralectotypes ( MNHN): 5, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, “ EX. COLL. REITTER” . Paralectotypes ( MNHN): 2, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, “ New Zealand Helms Reitter ” .
