- Rhytida australis Hutton, 1882 Pl. 6, fig. C Hutton, 1882. The New Zealand Journal of Science, 1: 282. Type material. Lectotype (designated here), CMNZ M1406 (dry shell). The molluscan collection at CMNZ has a radula mounted on a glass slide with the label details ‘ Rhytida australis, Stewart Island, XVI p. 167’, in Hutton’s handwriting (i.e., CMNZ 2017.17.61), which is probably primary type material (see radula descriptions by Hutton 1883d: 139; 1884b: 167). Label details. CMNZ M1406—‘Stewart Is., Hutton coll. (123)’. CMNZ molluscan catalogue details. M1406—‘ Rhytida australis Hutton, Stewart Island (1 specimen) (old No. 123) ’. Type locality. ‘Stewart Island (T. Kirk)’ (Hutton 1882p: 282, 1883d: 139). Previous illustrations of type material. Radula teeth illustrated by Hutton (1884b: pl. 10, fig. S) probably from type material. Remarks. Original description based on one or more specimens from Rakiura/Stewart Island. Hutton submitted a description of Rhytida australis to the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute issue for 1882, but publication was delayed until May 1883 (Hutton 1883d: 139), and was pre-empted by a brief description in an account of a meeting of the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury (Hutton 1882p: 282). A description by Hutton (1884b: 167, pl. 10, fig. S) of a radula of australis was probably based on the putative type material in CMNZ 2017.17.61 mentioned above. A shell from the type material (lectotype) is illustrated here for the first time in pl. 6 fig. C. Assigned to genus Rhytida Albers, 1860 [in Albers & Martens, 1860] by Hutton (1882) and subsequent authors, but preliminary results of a phylogenetic study (M. Kennedy & T. King unpub. data) indicate that this placement requires re-evaluation. Current taxonomy. Rhytida australis Hutton, 1882 — Hutton (1884c: 208), Suter (1913: 771), Dell (1954b: 150), Parkinson (1979: 11), Powell (1979: 344), Efford (1998:33), Spencer et al. (2009: 218). Distribution. New Zealand, Whenua Hou/Codfish Island, Rakiura and nearshore islands (Dell 1954b: 150; Powell 1979: 344; Efford 1998: 33, fig. 4f; AIM and NMNZ collection records).
