Type
locality
: Picton [Greymouth and Kumara also given in original description].
Broun number
: 1947.
Remarks:
Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined. There were several specimens in the BMNH, and we considered six to be
syntypes
, not including specimens hand-labeled by Sharp as variants. In order to stabilize this name, a
lectotype
and
five paralectotypes
are
here designated
from the material of
Pycnomerus longulus
.
