Silusa parallela Bernhauer 1943
Silusa (Stenusa) parallela Bernhauer 1943: 170. Type locality: Neuseeland ("Fundort nicht lesbar") [published]; Curiosity Gully [ST label]. Type depository: BMNH LT; FMNH 1PLT (designated below). Distribution: New Zealand (MC).
Remarks. Bernhauer did not indicate the number of specimens in the Broun collection he examined of this species.
In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated for the two syntypes we found of
Silusa (Stenusa) parallela.
Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “ Type [round label with red border] // New
Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Curiosity 9.8.1912. [in Broun’s hand] // 6? Segmt.

Paralectotype: 1 (FMNH), card-mounted, “ New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Tribe

Silusa puber (Broun 1880)
Gyrophaena puber Broun 1880: 90. Type locality: Parua. Type depository: BMNH HT♂. Note: synonymy and placement in Silusa by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262) (after Hammond pers. comm.). Distribution: New Zealand (AK,CL,ND,RI,TO,WA,WN,WO; DN,FD,MC,NN,OL,SL).
= Aleochara semifusca Broun 1894: 385. Type locality: Mount Pirongia. Type depository: BMNH 1ST, 2ST. Note: synonymized by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262) (after Hammond pers. comm.).
= Silusa (Stenusa) Arrowi Bernhauer 1941: 38. Type locality: Kiwi Bush. Type depository: BMNH LT; FMNH 1PLT (designated below). Note: synonymized by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262).
Remarks. The holotype of Gyrophaena puber and one syntype of Aleochara semifusca in BMNH were confirmed
and labelled by J. Klimaszewski in Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997). Bernhauer did not indicate the number of
specimens examined for naming Silusa (Stenusa) arrowi. In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one
paralectotype are here designated for the two syntypes of Silusa (Stenusa) arrowi.
Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “ Type [round label with red border] // New
Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Kiwi Bush 4.5.1915. [in Broun’s hand] // not – 164.
