Type material.
NHMUK 1907.5.3.160, lectotype (ex Fulton).
Remarks.
Fulton (1907)
mentioned that he had three specimens, of which the NHMUK specimen corresponds to his figure. Contrary to Breure and Schouten (1985), it should not be considered as holotype, but is here designated as the lectotype (Art. 74.6 ICZN). The specimen has the apex damaged. Clench (1941) questioned the type locality and suggested it was erroneous. Also
Delsaerdt (2010)
has been unable to locate this species on Santa Isabel; it is only known from Guadalcanal.
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae,
Eumecostylus cylindricus
(Fulton, 1907).
