Startes foveata Broun, 1893

( Figs 111–112 )

Startes foveata Broun, 1893b: 170 . Raffray 1904: 243, 1911: 105, 1924: 157; Hudson 1923: 364, 1934: 183; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 257; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [AK] Hunua Range.

Broun number: 2741.

Notes: Broun mentioned that he had five specimens. Three specimens in the BMNH Broun collection and one specimen in the NZAC collection matching this locality record were located. Another specimen in the NZAC with a Broun number label in Broun’s hand is also considered to be part of the syntype series. There are two additional specimens in the BMNH main collection and three specimens in the NZAC lacking locality labels and are not considered to be part of the syntype series. All syntypes are females, contrary to the labelling of two specimens in the BMNH as “males”. However, as to stabilize this name, a lectotype and four paralectotypes are still here designated for Startes foveata .
