Gastrobothrus sharpi ( Broun, 1880)

( Figs 103–104 )

Bryaxis sharpi Broun, 1880: 124 . Schaufuss 1888: 32; Hudson 1923: 364, 1934: 182; Raffray 1924: 157; Kuschel 1990: 49; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 256; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [AK] Tairua.

Broun number: 229.

Notes: Broun did not mention the number of specimens he examined. One specimen matching this locality record in the BMNH Broun collection was located. There are two additional specimens in the same collection that do not match the locality and are not considered to be part of the syntype series. There are also three specimens in the NZAC with labels in Brookes’ hand and one with Broun’s handwritten labels, but they do not match the type locality, and are not considered to be part of the syntype series. Unfortunately, the only syntype is a female, but to stabilize this name, a lectotype is still here designated for Bryaxis sharpi .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): ‘Type [round label with red border] // 229 // Tairua. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922––482. // Eupines sharpi [in Broun’s hand]’.
