Heterargus crassus ( Broun, 1881) NEW COMBINATION

( Figs. 133–134 View FIGURES 127–135 )

Ablabus crassus Broun, 1881: 669 . Hetschko 1930: 37. Maddison 2010: 426.

Protarphius crassus : transferred from Ablabus by Broun 1893a: 184. Hutton 1904: 170. Broun 1914a: 98. Hudson 1923: 369.

Heterargus crassus: Implied combination based on synonymy of Protarphius with Heterargus in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 385.

Type locality: Parua.

Broun number: 1167.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on two specimens. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Ablabus crassus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 1167. [green label] // Parua // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Protarphius crassus . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): “1167. [green label] // Parua // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482.”
