Type locality. Parua.

Broun number: 565.

Type material examined. 2 exx. Syntype (NHM): card-mounted, “565”, “Parua” [in Broun’s hand], “New Zealand. [red underline] \ Broun Coll. \ Brit. Mus. \ 1922-482.”, “ Atopida \ testacea .” [in Broun’s hand]. Syntype (NHM): “var” [handwritten], “565.”, “New Zealand. [red underline] \ Broun Coll. \ Brit. Mus. \ 1922-482.”
