Eupinogitus sulcipennis Broun, 1921a: 518 . Hudson 1923: 367, 1934: 186; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 255; Maddison 2010: 417.

Eupinogitus picescens Broun, 1921a: 518 : Variaty of Eupinogitus sulcipennis and implied synonym of Eupinogitus sulcipennis by Nomura & Leschen 2006: 256. Type locality: [OL] Staircase, southern end of the Remarkables.

Type locality: [OL] Staircase, southern end of the Remarkables.

Broun number: 4038.

Notes: Broun received this species from Mr T. Hall which he collected in Staircase, at the southern end of the Remarkables, 3500 ft., 15 th March 1914. Broun did not mention the number of specimens he examined. We located four specimens in the BMNH main collection and four specimens in the NZAC matching the data of this locality and date. There are six additional specimens with labels in Brookes’ hand and three specimens with labels in Broun’s hand that do not match the date in the NZAC and are not considered to be syntypes. Broun listed Eupinogitus picescens as a variety (“var.”) of E. sulcipennis based on a single specimen. One specimen with a designation label in Broun’s hand matching the data of this locality and date in the BMNH main collection was located and is confirmed to be the holotype. E. picescens is also conspecific with E. sulcipennis and is confirmed as a junior synonym of this species as proposed by Nomura & Leschen (2006). In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and seven paralectotypes are here designated for Eupinogitus sulcipennis .
