TypesHolotype: lost, given as USNM 5685, Bay of Islands, New Zealand (locality in error; see comment) 
Diagnosis 
CommentDistribution: Has been reported from New Zealand by GIRARD 1858 but has been removed from the list of New Zealand lizards by Hardy & Hicks 1980.

Synonymy: The name “Hombronia” is preoccupied by a crustacean.

''The presumed holotype of Hombronia fasciolaris matches neither the original description nor Girard's redescription; instead the specimen is more similar to the description and redescription of Lipinia vulcania. This specimen is tentatively proposed as the holotype of the latter taxon; the type of the former is not extant in the USNM.'' [from ZUG 1985, Copeia]

Abundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017).
