Dasytricheta Bernhauer 1943
Dasytricheta Bernhauer 1943: 171. Type species: Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer, 1943, by monotypy.
= Pyromecroma Cameron 1945: 165. Type species: Myrmecopora funesta Broun, 1912 (as Bernhauer (in error)), by original designation.
Notes: The genus Dasytricheta is endemic to New Zealand, with 11 valid species according to the recent revision of Paśnik (2007b).
Dasytricheta funesta (Broun 1912)
Myrmecopora funesta Broun 1912: 397. Type locality: Broken River, Canterbury. Type depository: BMNH LT, 1PLT (designated below) [as HT in error, Paśnik 2007b: 819]. Note: comb. nov. ex Pyromecroma, Paśnik (2007b: 819). Distribution: New Zealand (MC,OL,WD).
Remarks. Broun did not indicate the number of specimens on which he based this species. Two syntypes are present in the BMNH; one of these was incorrectly labelled as the holotype by Paśnik (2007b). In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one paralectotype are here designated for these specimens of Myrmecopora funesta. Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted (terminalia on acetate card), “ Type [round label with red border] // 3187. [in Broun’s hand] // Broken Riv Canterbury [in Broun’s hand, label cut at left margin] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Myrmecopora funesta. ♀. [in Broun’s hand] // HOLOTYPE Myrmecopora funesta Broun des. G. Paśnik 2005 [in Paśnik’s hand, partly printed on red label with black border] // Dasytrcheta fenestra (Broun) [in Paśnik’s hand] det G. Paśnik 2005”. Paralectotype (BMNH): cardmounted (dorsally), “ Type [round label with red border] // 3187. [in Broun’s hand] // Broken River. [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Myrmecopora funesta. [in Broun’s hand] // Dasytricheta funestra (Broun) [in Paśnik’s hand] det G. Paśnik 2005”.

Dasytricheta haastiana Paśnik 2007b: 821. Type locality: New Zealand, WD: 20 km E Haast, banks of Haast river, 80m. Type depository: BMNH HT♂. Distribution: New Zealand (WD).
Dasytricheta hookeriana Paśnik 2007
Dasytricheta hookeriana Paśnik 2007b: 820. Type locality: New Zealand, OL: Queenstown, Arthurs Point, banks of Shotover River. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 21PT; ISZP 1PT. Distribution: New Zealand (OL).
Dasytricheta intermedia Paśnik 2007
Dasytricheta intermedia Paśnik 2007b: 819. Type locality: New Zealand, OL: Queenstown, Arthurs Point, banks of Shotover River. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 42PT; ISZP 1PT. Distribution: New Zealand (OL).
Dasytricheta kapuniana Paśnik 2007
Dasytricheta kapuniana Paśnik 2007b: 822. Type locality: New Zealand, TK: Egmont National Park, Kapuni valley, 1030-1250m. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 11PT; ISZP 1PT. Distribution: New Zealand (TK; MK,WD).
Dasytricheta mahitahiana Paśnik 2007
Dasytricheta mahitahiana Paśnik 2007b: 822. Type locality: New Zealand, WD: Mahitahi River, Scenic Reserve. Type depository: BMNH HT♂. Distribution: New Zealand (WD).
Dasytricheta periana Paśnik 2007
Dasytricheta periana Paśnik 2007b: 823. Type locality: New Zealand, ND: Honeymoon Valley, Peria Stream, 60m. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 4PT. Distribution: New Zealand (ND,WA).
Dasytricheta shotoveriana Paśnik 2007
Dasytricheta shotoveriana Paśnik 2007b: 819. Type locality: New Zealand, OL: Queenstown, Arthurs Point, banks of Shotover River. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 34PT; ISZP 1PT. Distribution: New Zealand (OL).
Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer 1943
Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer 1943: 172. Type locality: Kakaia [sic; as Rakaia in Paśnik 2007b: 818]. Type depository: BMNH LT, FMNH 1PLT (designated below)[as HT in error, Paśnik 2007b: 818]. Note: as synonym of funesta in NZAC, but as valid species, Paśnik (2007b). Distribution: New Zealand (MC).
Remarks. Bernhauer described this species from “Kakaia” [error for Rakaia], collected by Walker, but did not
indicate the number of specimens he had seen. Paśnik (2007b) indicated having seen a “ holotype ” female from
FMNH and male non-type specimen from BMNH, but both of these specimens have Bernhauer type labels and the
same locality data (Rakaia) and collector (J. Walker), and should be considered syntypes. In order to stabilize this
name a lectotype (BMNH) and one paralectotype (FMNH) are here designated for specimens of Dasytricheta
spectabilis.
Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted (left antennal club detached, terminalia and
mouthparts on acetate card), “ Type [round label with red border] // Rakaia N. Zealand JJWalker [in Champion’s?
hand] // Dasytricheta spectabilis Brh. Typ [in Bernhauer’s hand] M. Bernhauer det. // nov. gen. Dasytricheta Brh.M. Bernhauer det. Typ. [in Bernhauer’s hand, partly printed] // G. C. Champion Coll. B.M. 1927-409. // Dasytricheta spectabilis Br. [in Paśnik’s hand] det G. Paśnik 2005”. Paralectotype (FMNH): same locality and collector according to Paśnik (2007b) [Note: this specimen could not be located in FMNH by AFN in February 2015 to confirm data about the specimen].

Dasytricheta testacea Paśnik 2007b: 820. Type locality: New Zealand, OL: Queenstown, Arthurs Point, banks of Shotover River. Type depository: BMNH HT♂, 9PT; ISZP 1PT. Distribution: New Zealand (OL).
