Description

LIPAROCEPHALINI Fenyes 1918

Baeostethus Broun 1909

Baeostethus Broun 1909: 96. Type species: Baeostethus chiltoni Broun, 1909, by monotypy. Notes: Baeostethus was treated as a synonym of Leptusa (Halmaeusa) by Pace (1989), but resurrected as a valid genus in the tribe Liparocephalini by Leschen et al. (2002); it includes only a single species endemic to the Auckland, Campbell, and the Antipodes Islands.

Baeostethus chiltoni Broun 1909

Baeostethus chiltoni Broun 1909: 97. Type locality: Campbell Island. Type depository: BMNH LT, 1PLT (designated below). Note: Antipodes Is., Marris (2000); redescription, relationships, distribution, biology including larval description, Leschen et al. (2002). Distribution: Auckland Is., Antipodes Is., Campbell I. (AU,AN,CA).

Remarks. Broun did not indicate the number of specimens he based this species on. In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one paralectotype are here designated for the two located syntypes of Baeostethus chiltoni. Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Subantarctic Is. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Campbell Island. [in Broun’s hand] // Baeostethus chiltoni. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): card-mounted [dorsally], labels same as lectotype.
