Pycnomerus basalis Broun, 1882: 295 . Broun 1886: 766 (reprinted from Broun 1882). Hutton 1904: 171. Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 61. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Parua Bay [near Whangarei Harbour] .

Broun number: 1359.

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. We located one specimen in the BMNH Broun collection matching the type locality. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Pycnomerus basalis .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 1359. [in Broun’s hand] // Parua // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pycnomerus basalis - [in Broun’s hand]”.
