( Figs. 384–386 )

Pycnomerus longulus Sharp, 1886: 389 , pl. 12, fig. 21. Broun 1893b: 1095 (reprinted excerpt of Sharp 1886: 389). Broun 1903: 618. Hutton 1904: 171. Broun 1911: 99. Broun 1912: 422. Hudson 1923: 370. Hetschko 1930: 62. Maddison 2010: 426.

Type locality: Picton [Greymouth and Kumara also given in original description].

Broun number: 1947.

Remarks: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens examined. There were several specimens in the BMNH, and we considered six to be syntypes, not including specimens hand-labeled by Sharp as variants. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and five paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Pycnomerus longulus .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): card-mounted, “ Pycnomerus longulus Type D.S. Picton N. Zeal d. Helms [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Type [round label with red border] // Sharp Coll. 1905- 313.” Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 2, mounted together on same card and pin, “ Pycnomerus longulus D.S. Kumara N. Zd. Helms. 1884 . [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // I 21 [handwritten] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Pycnomerus longulus D.S. Picton N. Zd. Helms. 1884 . [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Pycnomerus longulus Greymouth [written at base of card in Sharp’s hand] // N. Zeal. [red underline] 86 20 [handwritten] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” Paralectotype ( BMNH): “ Pycnomerus longulus D.S. Greymouth [written at base of card in Broun’s hand] // Greymouth, [red line] New Zealand Helms. [handwritten] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313.”
