Comments.
Broun based this species on one specimen which was in the NZAC. There was one specimen in the BMNH which matches the date and locality published by Broun, but was labelled as a variant and, moreover, Broun made no mention of a variant in the original publication. We confirm that the NZAC specimen is the
holotype
