174B87D8FFED356EFF7CF93356C0FE95.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Type material of Atheta (Atheta) cottieri, A. (Acrotona) muggeridgei and A. (Acrotona) zealandica (synonym of A. pasadenae) are externally similar and share the same locality labels. Specimens from this series contained in the NZAC were placed under the name A. amicula by Willy Kuschel.	en	Leschen, Richard A. B., Newton, Alfred F.

174B87D8FFED356EFF7CF93356C0FE95.taxon	discussion	Remarks. No specimens originally labeled as Sipalia antipodum were found in BMNH (filed under Amrithea) or FMNH, but each collection includes specimens labeled as types of Sipalia antarctica Bernhauer with data in agreement with the published name S. antipodum. Pace (1985: 107) interpreted these specimens as types of S. antipodum, and suggested that Bernhauer may have changed the name at the last minute in publication but not relabeled his types. We agree with this interpretation, and accordingly designate here a lectotype and two paralectotypes for S. antipodum.	en	Leschen, Richard A. B., Newton, Alfred F.

Bernhauer described this species from “ Kakaia ” [error for Rakaia], collected by Walker, but did not indicate the number of specimens he had seen. Paśnik (2007 b) 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.
