Caccomolpus substriatus Broun 1917

Caccomolpus substriatus Broun, 1917

Caccomolpus substriatus Broun, 1917:467. Type locality: Ben Lomond.

Comments. Broun based this species on three specimens collected from Mount Dick on 6 March 1914 by Mr. Hall, one of which was a mutilated male mounted dorsally. We located four specimens with handwritten locality and Broun numbers in the BMNH and NZAC, one of which was labelled as a variety, and three that were remounted and redetermined as C. pullatus by M. Daccordi. There is some confusion about true specimen identities due to labelling (see above, C. hallianus) and all could be regarded as syntypes. We decided to exclude the variant, and treat the three remaining specimens as syntypical.

Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): remounted on point, aedeagus glued laterally and abdomen cleared and in window-mount [right proleg missing], “3966. ♂. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand.
