Bitoma rugosa Sharp, 1876: 26 . Sharp 1877c: 399 (reprinted from Sharp 1876). Broun 1880: 193. Broun 1886: 833, 895. Hutton 1904: 169. Broun 1909a: 386. Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 19. Hudson 1934: 59. Kuschel 1990: 33, 63. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Tairua.

Broun number: 346.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined. One specimen labeled as “var” [handwritten] was not considered a syntype because it did not have “Ind. typ" written on the card mount in Sharp’s hand. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and five paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Bitoma rugosa .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Bitoma rugosa Type N. Zeal d D.S. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 2, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, “ Bitoma rugosa Ind. typ. N. Zeald [written at base of card mount in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 3, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, “ Bitoma rugosa Ind. typ. N. Zeald D.S. [written at base of card mount in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
