Type
locality
: near Howick.
Broun number
: 1714.
Remarks:
Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. We located
one specimen
in the BMNH Broun collection matching the type locality. 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
Pycnomerus cognatus
.
Type material examined
:
Lectotype

New Zealand
[red underline] Broun
Coll. Brit. Mus.
