Pycnomerus parvulus Broun, 1921

( Figs. 398–399 )

Pycnomerus parvulus Broun, 1921b: 614 . Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 63. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Karekare , west coast, near Auckland .

Broun number: 4182.

Remarks: Broun based this species on a single specimen collected on 23 February, 1916. One specimen, lacking a BMNH type label, bears a “Kerikeri” label (an alternate spelling of Karekare, which is located on the west coast of Auckland in the Waitakere ranges). We regard this specimen as the holotype.

Type material examined: Holotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “4182. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // KeriKeri. 23.2.1916 [in Broun’s hand] // Pycnomerus parvulus . [in Broun’s hand]”.
