( Figs 99–100 )

Bryaxis punctata Broun, 1886: 831 . Raffray 1911: 80, 1924: 156; Hudson 1923: 364, 1934: 182; Kuschel 1990: 49.

Eupinolus punctatus: Combination by Chandler 2001: 328. Nomura & Leschen 2006: 256; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [AK] Paparoa, near Howick.

Broun number: 1478.

Notes: Broun did not mention the number of specimens he examined. One male in the BMNH main collection matching this locality record was located. There is another specimen in the same collection with labels in Broun’s hand whose label does not match the type locality and is not considered to be part of the syntype series. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated for Bryaxis punctata .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): ‘Type [round label with red border] // ♂ [in Broun’s hand] // 1478. [in Broun’s hand] // Howick // New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922––482. // Eupines punctata . [in Broun’s hand]’.
