Eupines (Eupines) simplex : subgeneric assignment by Nomura & Leschen 2006: 254. Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [CL] Tairua.

Broun number: 3503.

Notes: Broun sent two specimens to Sharp, with two specimens bearing labels that match the locality data located in the BMNH main collection and are both females. One intact specimen is chosen to be the lectotype and the other specimen without head is placed as the paralectotype. There is an additional specimen in the NZAC with the label “cotype” in Sharp’s hand but does not match the locality data and is not considered to be part of the syntype series. The subgeneric assignment is not made for this species. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and a paralectotype are still here designated for Eupines simplex .
