Pycnomerodes peregrinus Broun, 1886

( Figs. 340–341 )

Pycnomerodes peregrinus Broun, 1886: 952 . Hutton 1904: 171. Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 64. Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 15. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: near Howick.

Broun number: 1715.

Remarks: Broun did not mention how many specimens he “cut out from a log near Howick.” Two specimens were located in the BMNH, one from Waitakere (affixed with a BMNH type label) and one from Paparoa. We regard the Paparoa specimen as the lectotype, because “Paparoa” is an old-use name for Howick. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Pycnomerodes peregrinus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “1715. [in Broun’s hand] // Paparoa // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482.”
