Polylobus sternalis
(
Broun, 1880
)
Gyrophaena sternale
Broun, 1880
: 88
[
Type
locality: “near Whangarei Harbour” (
Broun 1880
)]. Species name transferred to
Polylobus
by
Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz (1926: 768)
. The specific name is an adjective and was changed to the masculine spelling to agree with the gender of the generic name. The ending “-ale” is used to the neuter gender, so the ending “-alis” would also be correct in
Gyrophaena
(Alfred F. Newton, personal communication).
