Eupines (Byraxis) diversides Newton, 2017: 13 . New name for Bryaxis diversa Broun, 1893b: 174 , preoccupied by Bryaxis diversa Raffray, 1887: 36 .

Type locality: [AK] Hunua Range, Drury.

Broun number: 2739.

Notes: Broun mentioned that he had four males and seven females. Three specimens in the BMNH Broun collection, three specimens in the BMNH main collection, and two specimens in the NZAC were located and are considered to be syntypes. There are four additional specimens in the BMNH main collection that do not have the correct locality data and are not regarded to be part of the syntype series. In addition, there are three specimens in the NZAC with labels in Brookes’ hand: two lacking locality labels and one from a different locality that are not considered to be part of the syntype series. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and seven paralectotypes are here designated for Bryaxis diversa . The original identification label was written as Byraxis , but the original combination was published under Bryaxis .
