Notes: Myrmecocephalus , often treated as a subgenus of Falagria , includes about 118 valid species worldwide,

with one endemic and one adventive species in New Zealand.

Stilicioides micans Broun 1880: 96 View in CoL . Type locality: Tairua; near Whangarei. Type depository: BMNH LT (designated below). Distribution: New Zealand (CL,ND,TO;NC).

Remarks. Broun described this species based on “several specimens”; one was located in the BMNH (the

remaining specimens were collected in 1910 and 1912). In order to stabilize this name a lectotype is here

designated for this syntype of Stilicioides micans .

Type material examined. Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Type [round label with red border] // 176. [green

label] // Tairua // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Falagria micans . [in Broun’s
