Description

(Figs. 180–181)

Coxelus elongatus Broun, 1909a: 386. Broun 1914b: 178. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 47. May 1967: 178. Maddison 2010: 426.

Notocoxelus elongatus: Implied combination based on the erection of the genus Notocoxelus (Ślipiński and Lawrence, 1997: 404).

Type locality: Broken River.

Broun number: 2764 (as given in Broun 1914b: 178; May 1967: 178).

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on three specimens. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and two paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Coxelus elongatus.

Type material examined: Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2764. [in Broun’s hand] // Broken River. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Coxelus elongatus - [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): card-mounted venter-up, “2764. [in Broun’s

hand] // Broken River- [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Coxelus elongatus. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (MNHN): card-mounted, “ Broken River. [in Broun’s hand] / / 2764. [in Broun’s hand] // Coxelus elongatus [in Broun’s hand]”.
