Broun number: This species was listed as number 61 in the paper, but this is not a “Broun number” in the standard sense.

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and seven paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Coxelus mucronatus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “61. ♂. [in Broun’s hand] // ♂ [handwritten] // Chatham Is. [red underline] Broun Coll. B.M. 1922-482. // Pitt Island . - T. Hall- [in Broun’s hand] // Coxelus mucronatus . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “61. ♀. [in Broun’s hand] // ♀ [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll.
