Silusa parallela Bernhauer 1943

Silusa (Stenusa) parallela Bernhauer 1943: 170 . Type locality: Neuseeland ("Fundort nicht lesbar") [published]; Curiosity Gully [ST label]. Type depository: BMNH LT; FMNH 1PLT (designated below). Distribution: New Zealand (MC).

Remarks. Bernhauer did not indicate the number of specimens in the Broun collection he examined of this species.

In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated for the two syntypes we found of

Silusa (Stenusa) parallela .

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

Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Curiosity 9.8.1912. [in Broun’s hand] // 6? Segmt.

Silusa puber (Broun 1880)

Gyrophaena puber Broun 1880: 90 . Type locality: Parua. Type depository: BMNH HT♂. Note: synonymy and placement in Silusa by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262) (after Hammond pers. comm.). Distribution: New Zealand (AK,CL,ND,RI,TO,WA,WN,WO; DN,FD,MC,NN,OL,SL).

= Aleochara semifusca Broun 1894: 385 . Type locality: Mount Pirongia. Type depository: BMNH 1ST, 2ST. Note: synonymized by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262) (after Hammond pers. comm.).

= Silusa (Stenusa) Arrowi Bernhauer 1941: 38 . Type locality: Kiwi Bush. Type depository: BMNH LT; FMNH 1PLT (designated below). Note: synonymized by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262).

Remarks. The holotype of Gyrophaena puber and one syntype of Aleochara semifusca in BMNH were confirmed

and labelled by J. Klimaszewski in Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997). Bernhauer did not indicate the number of

specimens examined for naming Silusa (Stenusa) arrowi . In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one

paralectotype are here designated for the two syntypes of Silusa (Stenusa) arrowi .

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

Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Kiwi Bush 4.5.1915. [in Broun’s hand] // not – 164.
