Pristoderus salebrosus ( Broun, 1880)

( Figs. 290–291 )

Ulonotus salebrosus Broun, 1880: 192 .

Recyntus salebrosus: Broun 1882: 294 . Broun 1886: 765 (reprinted from Broun 1882). Hutton 1904: 170. Broun 1923: 687. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 56.

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

Pristoderus salebrosus: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Tairua.

Broun number: 342.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on two specimens, both of which were located in the BMNH and the MNHN. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Ulonotus salebrosus . Broun’s determination label on the lectotype reads “ Recyntus salebrosus ,” but the name given in the original description is Ulonotus salebrosus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 342. [green label] // Tairua [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Recyntus salebrosus . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( MNHN): card-mounted, “Tairua [in Broun’s hand] // 342. [green label]” .
