Author Newton, Alfred F. text Zootaxa 2015 4028 3 301 353 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.3.1 ea9c9aec-82fc-4fc9-957f-9acde6fa21f9 1175-5326 237988 10D1874C-8E75-4330-8FCC-C744B58563DC TACHYUSINI Thomson 1859 Dasytricheta Bernhauer 1943 Dasytricheta Bernhauer 1943: 171 . Type species: Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer, 1943 , by monotypy. = Pyromecroma Cameron 1945: 165 . Type species: Myrmecopora funesta Broun, 1912 (as Bernhauer (in error)), by original designation. Notes: The genus Dasytricheta is endemic to New Zealand , with 11 valid species according to the recent revision of Paśnik (2007b). Dasytricheta funesta (Broun 1912) Myrmecopora funesta Broun 1912: 397 . Type locality: Broken River, Canterbury. Type depository: BMNH LT, 1PLT (designated below) [as HT in error, Paśnik 2007b: 819]. Note: comb. nov. ex Pyromecroma , Paśnik (2007b: 819) . Distribution: New Zealand (MC,OL,WD). Remarks. Broun did not indicate the number of specimens on which he based this species. Two syntypes are present in the BMNH; one of these was incorrectly labelled as the holotype by Paśnik (2007b). In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one paralectotype are here designated for these specimens of Myrmecopora funesta . Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted (terminalia on acetate card), “ Type [round label with red border] // 3187.

Dasytricheta shotoveriana Paśnik 2007 Dasytricheta shotoveriana Paśnik 2007b: 819 . Type locality: New Zealand , OL: Queenstown, Arthurs Point, banks of Shotover River. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 34PT; ISZP 1PT. Distribution: New Zealand (OL). Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer 1943 Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer 1943: 172 . Type locality: Kakaia [sic; as Rakaia in Paśnik 2007b: 818]. Type depository: BMNH LT, FMNH 1PLT (designated below)[as HT in error, Paśnik 2007b: 818]. Note: as synonym of funesta in NZAC, but as valid species, Paśnik (2007b). Distribution: New Zealand (MC). Remarks. Bernhauer described this species from “Kakaia” [error for Rakaia], collected by Walker, but did not indicate the number of specimens he had seen. Paśnik (2007b) indicated having seen a “ holotype ” female from FMNH and male non-type specimen from BMNH, but both of these specimens have Bernhauer type labels and the same locality data (Rakaia) and collector (J. Walker), and should be considered syntypes . In order to stabilize this name a lectotype (BMNH) and one paralectotype (FMNH) are here designated for specimens of Dasytricheta spectabilis . Type material examined. Lectotype ( BMNH ): card-mounted (left antennal club detached, terminalia and mouthparts on acetate card), “ Type [round label with red border] // Rakaia N. Zealand JJWalker [in Champion’s? hand] // Dasytricheta spectabilis Brh. Typ [in Bernhauer’s hand] M. Bernhauer det. // nov. gen. Dasytricheta Brh.M. Bernhauer det. Typ.

Paralectotype ( FMNH ): same locality and collector according to Paśnik (2007b) [Note: this specimen could not be located in FMNH by AFN in February 2015 to confirm data about the specimen].
