robustum, Tripterygium Clarke [F.

Neotype: NMNZ uncat. Original genus should have been Tripterygion., Neotype designated by Fricke 1994:347 [ref. 21827]. See Paulin et al. 1989:264 [ref. 24556]. Clements et al. 2000:379 [ref. 25188] suggest that the neotype designated by Fricke does not represent the species described by Clarke, but they were unable to identify it with certainty with 2 other species and suggest it be regarded as a nomen dubium. •Valid as Forsterygion robustum (Clarke 1879) -- (Paulin & Roberts 1992:93 [ref. 24625]). •Synonym of Forsterygion varium (Forster 1801) -- (Fricke 1994:342 [ref. 21827], Fricke 1997:574 [ref. 23339], Fricke 2009:45 [ref. 30394]).
