Pycnomerus ruficollis Broun, 1909a: 394 . Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 63. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Broken River , Canterbury .

Broun number: 2782 (as given in May 1967: 178).

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined, although he mentions a “good series” with some specimens that are a “little larger and darker” in color than “the type.” Four specimens were located in the BMNH Broun collection. Under Article 73.1.1 of the ICZN, we regard “the type” mentioned by Broun as the holotype and the remaining specimens in the series as paratypes.

Type material examined: Holotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2782. [in Broun’s hand] // Broken River . [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pycnomerus ruficollis [in Broun’s hand]” . Paratype ( BMNH): “2782 [in Broun’s hand] // Broken River . [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482.” Paratype ( BMNH): “2782. [in Broun’s hand] // Broken River . [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pycnomerus ruficollis . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paratype ( BMNH): mounted venter-up, “2782. [in Broun’s hand] // Broken River . [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pycnomerus ruficollis . [in Broun’s hand]” .
