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
.
