Pristoderus fulvus (Broun, 1893)

( Figs. 258–259 )

Ulonotus fulvus Broun, 1893b: 1080 . Hutton 1904: 168. Hudson 1923: 368. Hetschko 1930: 38.

Pristoderus fulvus: Implied combination based on Ulonotus as a junior synonym of Pristoderus in Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 9. Pristoderus fulvus: Maddison 2010: 426 .

Type locality: Moeraki.

Broun number: 1925.

Remarks: Broun based this species on a single specimen. We located one specimen in the BMNH Broun collection with a “1925” Broun number and identification label (but lacking a locality label), which we assume to be the holotype. Broun’s determination label on the lectotype reads “ Ulonotus fulvous,” but the name given in the original description is Ulonotus fulvus .

Type material examined: Holotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 1925. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Ulonotus fulvous [in Broun’s hand]”.
