Type
locality
: Tairua, Whangarei Heads.
Broun number
: 338.
Remarks:
Broun mentioned that he based this species on
three specimens
, two from Tairua and one from Whangarei Heads, but only one matching these localities was located. Broun remarked that he sent material of this species to Sharp, who informed him it was not
U. lawsoni
. It is possible the other
two syntypes
are amongst Sharp’s material at the BMNH. In order to stabilize this name, a
lectotype
is
here designated
from the material of
Ulonotus aberrans
.
