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

Heterargus posticalis: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Otara , Southland .

Broun number: 2771 (as given in May 1967: 178).

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Heterargus posticalis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2771. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Otara. Southland [in Broun’s hand] // Protarphius posticalis . [in Broun’s hand]”.
