( Figs. 162–163 )

Heterargus subaequus Broun, 1914a: 97 . Broun 1914b: 178. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 48. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Hakapoua , Southland .

Broun number: 3406.

Remarks: Broun based this species on a single specimen collected on 1 March, 1911. There was an additional specimen in the BMNH that bears a “Hakapoua, Southland ” label (in Broun’s hand), but this was not considered a syntype because the specimen lacked a Broun identification label.

Type material examined: Holotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 3406. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Hakapoua. March 1911 - // Heterargus subaequus . [in Broun’s hand]”.
