Note Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand. Original...  
Type locality Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand. Original specimens from Colville Channel, Coromandel and Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand. Light (1980: 23) designated the Queen Charlotte Sound specimen [ZMUH V-9734] as lectotype. Although Light (1980) is an unpublished thesis it seems reasonable to treat Queen Charlotte Sound as the type locality. Augener does not give a geolocation here but this may be available from other sources. [details]
Type material Light (1980) reports his lectotype as ZMUH V-9734, indicating the Hamburg museum where indeed some Augener material is held.. However, Augener's (1926) material should be at Copenhagen (ZMUC) as it was collected by Mortensen who was Danish. This may or may not be a simple lapsus by Light. [details]
