- <p><b><i>Clypeolus binodes</i> (Broun)</b></p><p>(Figures 15–17)</p><p><i>Acalles binodes</i> Broun, 1921a: 657. Type locality: Martinborough.</p><p><i>Clypeolus binodes</i> (Broun) Lyal, 1993: 66.</p><p><b>Diagnosis:</b> Small, densely clothed with large, overlapping, light brown scales; frequently with a pale subquadrate macula on the elytral suture at the summit of the elytral declivity and a small pale yellow spot on the junction of interstriae 5 and 8 near the apex. Elytra with anterior margin roughly equal in width to the midpoint. Readily distinguished from all other described species of <i>Clypeolus</i> by the large tubercles located on the elytral declivity.</p><p><b>Distribution:</b> North Island: GB, WN, WA. South Island: NC.</p><p><b>Remarks:</b> Differs from the presently undescribed species in MK and CO by the subparallel lateral margins of the anterior 1/2 of the elytra in dorsal view (cf. strongly rounded, with the anterior margin of the elytra narrower than the width across the middle in the putative undescribed species) and by having the humeral angle and the base of interstria 5 only slightly raised (cf. tuberculate in the putative undescribed species, making the anterior margin of the elytra emarginate between the bases of interstriae 5 and 7).</p>
