Protarphius indentatus Broun, 1893a: 185 . Broun 1909a: 391. Broun 1910b: 38. Hutton 1904: 170. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 52. May 1967: 178.

Heterargus indentatus: Implied combination based on synonymy of Protarphius with Heterargus in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 385.

Heterargus indentatus: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Taranaki, near Stratford .

Broun number: 2769.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on two specimens. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Protarphius indentatus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2769. [in Broun’s hand] // Taranaki // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Protarphius indentatus [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): mounted venter-up, “2769. [in Broun’s hand] // Taranaki // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Protarphius indentatus [in Broun’s hand]” .
