Type locality: Hunua Range , Auckland [Wairoa District] .

Broun number: 364.

Remarks: Broun based this species on a single specimen. No specimens in the BMNH are labeled from the Wairoa district, but one from “Hunua Range” was located and is assumed to be the holotype. Broun’s determination label on the holotype reads “Rhytidinotus squamulosus,” but the name given in the original description is Rytinotus squamulosus .

Type material examined: Holotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 364. [in Broun’s hand] // Hunua Range. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Rhytidinotus squamulosus. [in Broun’s hand]”.
