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.
