Type
locality
:
Mount Te Aroha
.
Broun number
: 3409.
Remarks:
Broun mentioned that he based this species on
three specimens
collected in November, 1910. Three pins bearing only
two specimens
with labels matching this data were located in the BMNH Broun collection, though
one specimen
has come off the card and was not found in the drawer (this pin has all of the same labels as the
lectotype
, but no type label). In order to stabilize this name, a
lectotype
and
paralectotype
are
here designated
from the material of
Pycnomerus ocularius
.
