Pristoderus cucullatus ( Sharp, 1886)

( Figs. 243–245 )

Enarsus cucullatus Sharp, 1886: 387 , pl. 12, fig. 19. Broun 1893b: 1089 (reprinted excerpt of Sharp 1886: 387). Hutton 1904: 170. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 36. Hudson 1934: 59.

Pristoderus cucullatus: Implied combination based on synonymy of Enarsus with Pristoderus in Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 406.

Pristoderus cucullatus: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Greymouth.

Broun number: 1939.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined (listed as “Helms, No. 280” in the original description). Sharp stated that Mr. Helms sent him two specimens initially, then additional specimens at a later date, which we also regard as syntypes. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and seven paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Enarsus cucullatus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Enarsus cucullatus Type D.S. Greymouth N. Z d. Helms. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Greymouth, [red underline] New Zealand. Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // BMNH (E) #651712” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Enarsus cuculla- tus D.S. Greymouth. Helms [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // N. Zeal. [red underline] 86 20 // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 2, mounted separately on individual cards and pins, with identical labels, “ Enarsus cuculla- tus D.S. Greymouth. Helms. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth, New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Enarsus cuculla- tus D.S. Greymouth. N. Zd. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth, New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Enarsus cucullat us D.S. Greymouth. Helms. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth, New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Enarsus cucullatus D.S. Greymouth. N. Zd. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth, New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Enarsus cucullatus D.S. Greymouth. Helms. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth, New Zealand. [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
