Broun number: Tarphiomimus indentatus Wollaston : 324. Ectomida lacerata Pascoe : none given.

Remarks: Sharp (1876:18) stated that Pascoe’s Ectomida lacerata is identical with Wollaston’s Tarphiomimus indentatus based on the descriptions and correspondence with Pascoe. Broun (1880: 183) also stated that this species agrees with Pascoe’s Ectomida lacerata , placed within the Heteromera, but Wollaston’s Tarphiomimus indentatus has priority due to date of publication. Pascoe did not mention the number of specimens examined of Ectomida lacerata and the type is apparently lost, as we could not locate specimens in the BMNH, MNHN, or NZAC. Wollaston did not mention the number of specimens examined of Tarphiomimus indentatus , though we examined seven with labels from Lawson. One of these bears a determination label in Wollaston’s handwriting, and this specimen is designated as the lectotype. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and six paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Tarphiomimus indentatus . There is a specimen in the BMNH with a “Co- Type” label [round label with yellow border] that we do not consider a syntype due the the lack of Wollaston labels.

Type material examined: Tarphiomimus indentatus Wollaston : Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Auckland New Zeal. [red underline] Lawson [handwritten] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Tarphiomimus indentatus, Woll ( Nov. Zealand ) [in Wollaston’s hand]” . Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 3, mounted on the same card and pin, “ Auckland New Zeal. [red underline] Lawson [in Wollaston’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Tarphiomimus indentatus Woll. Auckland Lawson [handwritten]” . Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 2, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, “ Auckland New Zeal. [red underline] Lawson [in Wollaston’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “Auck- land [elliptical red label, in Wollaston’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Auckland New Zeal. [red underline] Lawson [in Wollaston’s hand]”. Ectomida lacerata Pascoe : type material not examined .
