( Figs 89–90 )

Bryaxis sternalis Broun, 1893b: 171 . Eupines (Eupines) sternalis : combination and subgeneric assignment by Raffray 1904: 204. Raffray 1911: 81, 1924: 157; Hudson 1923: 364, 1934: 183; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 254; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [ND] Ligar’s Bush , Papakura; [WO] Mount Pirongia .

Broun number: 2736.

Notes: Broun mentioned that he had eight exemplars from Papakura and two exemplars from Mount Pirongia. Four specimens from Ligar’s Bush in the BMNH Broun collection, two specimens from the same locality in the BMNH main collection, and two specimens from Mount Pirongia in the NZAC were located. Two additional specimens from Mount Pirongia with labels in Brookes’ hand in the NZAC are not regarded to be part of the syntypes series. In order to stabilize the name, a lectotype and seven paralectotype are here designated for Bryaxis sternalis . The original identification label was written as Eupines , but the original combination was published under Bryaxis .
