( Figs. 182–183 )

Coxelus graniceps Broun, 1893b: 1343, 1441 . Broun 1895: 195. Hutton 1904: 169. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 47. Maddison 2010: 426.

Notocoxelus graniceps: Implied combination based on the erection of the genus Notocoxelus ( Ślipiński and Lawrence, 1997: 404) .

Type locality: Moeraki.

Broun number: 2356.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on three specimens from Moeraki, but only two specimens in the BMNH specimens are labeled Otago or Moeraki. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Coxelus graniceps .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2356. [in Broun’s hand] // Otago [topside, in Broun’s hand] Moeraki [underside, in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Coxelus graniceps [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, venter up, “2356. [in Broun’s hand] // Moeraki [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit Mus. 1922-482. // Coxelus graniceps [in Broun’s hand]” .
