Heterargus grossanus ( Broun, 1885) NEW COMBINATION

( Figs. 139–140 View FIGURES 136–144 )

Coxelus grossanus Broun, 1885: 385 . Broun 1886: 927. Hutton 1904: 169. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 47. Maddison

2010: 426. Gathocles grossanus : transferred from Coxelus View in CoL by Broun 1893b: 1087. Heterargus grossanus: Implied combination based on synonymy of Gathocles with Heterargus in Ślipiński and Lawrence

1997: 385.

Type locality: Dunedin.

Broun number: 1662.

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. We located one specimen in the BMNH matching his description, though there was an additional specimen in the BMNH with a printed “ Otago ” label, a printed “Purakanui” label, and a handwritten “ Gathocles grossanus ” determination label. This specimen is not regarded as being part of the syntypic series due to the difference in locality with the original description. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Coxelus grossanus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted venter-up, “Type [round label with red border] / / 1662 [in Broun’s hand] // Dunedin // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Gathocles grossanus [in Broun’s hand]”.
