Caccomolpus globosus Sharp, 1886

Caccomolpus globosus Sharp, 1886:447 . Type locality: Greymouth.

Comments. Sharp did not give the number of specimens he had available for this species. There were five speci- mens in the main BMNH collection, three of which clearly bore the original thick card labels that Sharp had used (one specimen was labelled as type). Two additional specimens with Edmund Reitter labels are assumed to be from the same shipment that Sharp received from Reitter via Helms (Greymouth), named in Sharp’s 1886 paper. We have restricted the syntypes to the three specimens with Sharp labels, one of which, labelled ‘type’ by a curator, is designated lectotype to stabilise the epithet.

Type material examined. Lectotype ( BMNH): remounted on card with removed abdomen, with right maxilla and female terminalia on acetate card, “ Caccomolpus globusus Type M. S. Greymouth, N. Z. [in Sharp’s hand; top of original card trimmed] // ♀ [in Sharp’s hand?; top of original card trimmed] // Type H. T. [round label with red border] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Caccomolpus globosus Sharp [handwritten] det. M. Daccordi [printed] 1987 [in Daccordi’s hand]” . Paralectotypes ( BMNH): 1, same, but remounted on point, with right maxilla and female terminalia on acetate card, “Greymouth [in Sharp’s hand; original card trimmed]”; 1, same, but remounted on point with aedeagus removed and mounted on side of label, “ ♂ Caccomolpus globusus M.
