Description
Pycnomerus ocularius Broun, 1914
(Figs. 396–397)
Pycnomerus ocularius Broun, 1914a: 99. Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 63. Maddison 2010: 426.
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.
Type material examined: Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 3409 [in Broun’s hand] // Te Aroha. Nov r 1910. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pycnomerus ocularius. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): “3409 [in Broun’s hand] // Te Aroha. Nov r 1910. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482.”
