Pristoderus plagiatus ( Broun, 1911)

( Figs. 272–273 )

Ulonotus plagiatus Broun, 1911: 97 . Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 38.

Utonotus plagiatus: Broun 1911: 97 . Lapsus calami , no taxonomic status.

Pristoderus plagiatus: Implied combination based on Ulonotus as a junior synonym of Pristoderus in Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 9.

Pristoderus plagiatus: Emberson 1998: 44 . Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Pitt Island .

Broun number: This species was listed as number 60 in the paper, but this is not a “Broun number” in the standard sense.

Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. Four specimens in the BMNH and one in the NZAC matching the locality were located. One of these specimens (BMNH) is labeled as a variant, which we do not consider a syntype. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and three paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Ulonotus plagiatus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “60. [in Broun’s hand] // Chatham Is. [red underline] Broun Coll. B.M. 1922-482. // Pitt Island . - T. Hall- [in Broun’s hand] // Ulonotus plagiatus . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): mounted venter-up, “60. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pitt Island . - T. Hall- [in Broun’s hand] // Ulonotus plagiatus . [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( BMNH): “60. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. / / Pitt Island . - T. Hall- [in Broun’s hand]” . Paralectotype ( NZAC): card-mounted, “60. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand, [typed] Chatham Is. Broun Coll.
