Auckland, Waikato River, Nouvelle Zélande (Musée de Vienne, Voyage Novara). Unspecified number of ♀.
No specimens found in the MHNG. The NHMW contains one broken ♀ syntype (Inventory number 3811, Acquisition number 1866.I.22).
Johns (1964: 41)
refers to a ♀ specimen in the NHMW as the holotype, which can be regarded as a lectotype designation by holotype assumption. The Acquisition Register gives a more detailed locality “Waikato River/Tauperi” showing that the specimen was collected during the Novara’s stay in Auckland in 1858 (Scherzer, 1862).
