Chalcolampra limbata (Broun, 1893)

Allocharis limbata Broun, 1893b: 1307 . Type locality: Flagstaff Hill and Mount Maungatua, Dunedin.

Chalcolampra limbata: Implied combination based on Allocharis as an objective synonym of Chalcolampra in Daccordi, 1994: 77 .

Comments. Broun indicated that one specimen was from Flagstaff Hill and “the others” were from Mount Maungatua. In the Broun collection (BMNH) we found one from Flagstaff Hill and three others collected from Taieri where Mount Maungatu is located. One of these we designated as the lectotype to stabilise the epithet, and the remainder were designated as paralectotypes.

Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “2296. [in Broun’s hand] // ♂ [in Broun’s hand] // Taieri // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit.

[in Broun’s hand] // Dunedin” [lacking identification label] .
