Maddison 2010: 426 . Chorasus subcoecus : Hetschko 1930: 59 . Incorrect subsequent spelling, not available. Type locality : Greymouth. Broun number : 1943. Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and eight paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Chorasus subcaecus . There are an additional six specimens in the BMNH that appear to be on the same card and pin type as the syntypic series. While it is possible these specimens are also part of the syntypic series, we do not regard them as such due to the discrepancy in label data ( e.g. , one specimen was dated 1885). Type material examined : Lectotype ( BMNH ): card-mounted, “ Chorasus subcaecus Type D.S. Greymouth. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Greymouth, [red underline] New Zealand . Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH ): 1, card-mounted, “ Chorasus subcaecus Ind. typ. D.S. Greymouth [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth, New Zealand . [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH ): 1, card-mounted venter-up, “ Chorasus subcaecus D.S. Greymouth Helms. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth , New Zealand . [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH ): 2, mounted on same card, “ Chorasus subcaecus Greymouth. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth , New Zealand . [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905- 313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH ): 4, mounted on same card, one disarticulated, “ Chorasus sub- caecus Greymouth N. Zd. [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Greymouth , New Zealand . [red underline] Helms. // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
