Pycnomerus cognatus Broun, 1886: 951 . Broun 1893b: 1094. Hutton 1904: 171. Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 61. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: near Howick.

Broun number: 1714.

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. We located one specimen in the BMNH Broun collection matching the type locality. We regard the Paparoa specimen as the lectotype, because “Paparoa” is an old-use name for Howick. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Pycnomerus cognatus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 1714. [in Broun’s hand] // Paparoa // New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // cognatus [in Broun’s hand]”.
