LIPAROCEPHALINI Fenyes 1918 Baeostethus Broun 1909 Baeostethus Broun 1909: 96. Type species: Baeostethus chiltoni Broun, 1909, by monotypy. Notes: Baeostethus was treated as a synonym of Leptusa (Halmaeusa) by Pace (1989), but resurrected as a valid genus in the tribe Liparocephalini by Leschen et al. (2002); it includes only a single species endemic to the Auckland, Campbell, and the Antipodes Islands. Baeostethus chiltoni Broun 1909 Baeostethus chiltoni Broun 1909: 97. Type locality: Campbell Island. Type depository: BMNH LT, 1 PLT (designated below). Note: Antipodes Is., Marris (2000); redescription, relationships, distribution, biology including larval description, Leschen et al. (2002). Distribution: Auckland Is., Antipodes Is., Campbell I. (AU,AN,CA). Remarks. Broun did not indicate the number of specimens he based this species on. In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one paralectotype are here designated for the two located syntypes of Baeostethus chiltoni. Type material examined. Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Subantarctic Is. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922 - 482. // Campbell Island. [in Broun’s hand] // Baeostethus chiltoni. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): card-mounted [dorsally], labels same as lectotype. Ianmoorea Ahn 2006 Ianmoorea Ahn 2006: 36 (new name for Moorea Ahn 2004). Type species: Moorea zealandica Ahn, 2004, by autotypy. = Moorea Ahn 2004: 255 (preoccupied, not Jones & Holl 1869). Type species: Moorea zealandica Ahn, 2004, by original designation. Notes: Ianmoorea and its single included species are endemic to New Zealand. This flightless species occurs in fine gravel near the low tide level of marine beaches (Ahn 2004). Ianmoorea zealandica (Ahn 2004) Moorea zealandica Ahn 2004: 258. Type locality: Point Dorset, Breaker Bay, WN, New Zealand. Type depository: NZAC HT; NZAC, CNUIC, JNNZ, 17 PT.
