Pristoderus philpotti (Broun, 1914)

( Figs. 270–271 )

Ulonotus philpotti Broun, 1914a: 95 . Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 38.

Pristoderus philpotti: Implied combination based on Ulonotus as a junior synonym of Pristoderus in Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 9. Pristoderus philpotti: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Tisbury , Southland .

Broun number: 3404.

Remarks: We assume Broun based this species on two specimens because he mentioned a “second (damaged) specimen…” in the description. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Ulonotus philpotti .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 3404. [in Broun’s hand] // Tisbury [typed] 29.9.10 [handwritten] // New Zealand.
