Vitiacus setarius Broun, 1921a: 531 . Hetschko 1930: 49.

Chorasus setarius: Implied combination based on synonymy of Vitiacus with Chorasus in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 368. Chorasus setarius: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Erua, near Waimarino.

Broun number: 4055.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on two specimens collected in January, 1909 and 1910. Only one of the two specimens matching the date and locality was located BMNH Broun collection. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Vitiacus setarius .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “4055. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Erua. Jany. 1910. [in Broun’s hand] // Vitiacus setarius . [in Broun’s hand]”.
