Type Material

The holotype is the male from Shelly Bay, 3/8/1964, with carapace length of 15mm; the paratype upon which figs. 1 and 2 are mainly based is the male from the same area, 11/7/1964, with carapace length 11mm, though the figure of the page 6 mandible and certain other details are based on other specimens from Shelly Bay. All other material listed above, with the exception of the NZOI Stn. B 2 specimen is paratypic.

The holotype (Z. Cr. 1667), the figured paratype (Z. Cr. 1669) and the majority of the paratypes (8 specimens, Z. Cr. 1668, 1670-73) are in the Dominion Museum, Wellington; other paratypes are in the Victoria University of Wellington, Zoology Department (6 specimens), the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute, Wellington (3 specimens, 29, 30, 31), the Australian Museum, Sydney (2 specimens, P. 15164), and the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden (2 specimens, Crust. D. 22652–53). All measurements in the material examined list are of carapace length only (from posterior corner of orbit to level of dorsal midpoint of hind margin of carapace) and thus exclude the rostrum.
