Ciconissus granifer Broun, 1893a: 186 . Hutton 1904: 171. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 48. May 1967: 178. Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 11. Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 373. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Mount Pirongia .

Broun number: 2773.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on seven specimens collected in December, 1892. Three specimens in the BMNH and one in the NZAC matching this data were located. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and three paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Ciconissus granifer .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2773 [in Broun’s hand] // Pirongia // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Ciconissus granifer . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted venter-up, “2773 [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1933-482. // Pirongia. Decr. 1892. [in Broun’s hand] // Ciconissus granifer . [in Broun’s hand].” Paralectotype ( MNHN): card-mounted, “Pirongia. Dec r 1892. [in Broun’s hand] // 2773. [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( NZAC): card-mounted “ Mt. Pirongia [in Brookes’ hand] // 2773. [in Brookes’ hand] // T. Broun Collection // A.E. Brookes Collection ” .
