Description

Notocoxelus instabilis (Broun, 1914) NEW COMBINATION

(Figs. 186–187)

Coxelus instabilis Broun, 1914b: 177. Hudson 1923: 369. Hetschko 1930: 47. Maddison 2010: 426.

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

Type locality: McClennan’s Bush, near Methven [Pudding Hill also given in original description].

Broun number: 3545.

Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on “about twenty specimens” from McClennan’s Bush and Pudding Hill during April and May, 1912, but only five specimens in the BMNH and six specimens in the NZAC matching this data were located. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and ten paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Coxelus instabilis.

Type material examined: Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 3545 [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // M c Clennans. 23.4.1912. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “3545 [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pudding Hill. 4.5.1912. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): cardmounted, “3545. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pudding Hill. 4.5.1912. [in Broun’s hand] // Coxelus instabilis [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): card-mounted venter-up, “3545 [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Pudding Hill. 4.5.1912. [in Broun’s hand] // Coxelus instabilis [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “3545 [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // M c Clennans. 23.4.1912. [in Broun’s hand] // Coxelus instabilis [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotypes (NZAC): 2, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, “Methven. Canterbury. [in Brookes’ hand] // T. Hall. 1912. [in Brookes’ hand] // 3545 [in Brookes’ hand] // Coxelus instabilis Broun [in Brookes’ hand] // Cotype. [in Brookes’ hand] // Paratype [blue label] // T. Broun Collection // A.E. Brookes Collection ”. Paralectotype (NZAC): card-mounted venter-up, “Methven. Canterbury. [in Brookes’ hand] // T. Hall. 1912. [in Brookes’ hand] // 3545. [in Brookes’ hand] // Coxelus instabilis Broun [in Brookes’ hand] // Cotype [in Brookes’ hand] // Paratype [blue label] // T. Broun Collection // A.E. Brookes Collection ”. Paralectotype (NZAC): card-mounted, “Methven. Canterbury. [in Brookes’ hand] // T. Hall. 1912. [in Brookes’ hand] // 3545. [in Brookes’ hand] // Coxelus instabilis Broun [in Brookes’ hand] // Paratype [blue label] // T. Broun Collection // A.E. Brookes Collection ”. Paralectotype (NZAC): card-mounted, “Methven. Canterbury. [in Brookes’ hand] // T. Hall. 1912. [in Brookes’ hand] // 3545 [in Brookes’ hand] // Coxelus instabilis Broun [in Brookes’ hand] // Paratype [handwritten on blue label] // T. Broun Collection // A.E. Brookes Collection ”. Paralectotype (NZAC): card-mounted, “Methven. Canterbury. [in Brookes’ hand] // T. Hall. 4-5-1912. [in Brookes’ hand] // 3545. [in Brookes’ hand] // Coxelus instabilis Broun [in Brookes’ hand] // Cotype. [in Brookes’ hand] // Paratype [blue label] // T. Broun Collection // A.E. Brookes Collection ”.
