( Figs. 45–46 in Shen and Leschen, 2019)

Bryaxis ignotus Broun, 1881: 661 . Schaufuss 1888: 26; Raffray 1904: 244, 1924: 157; Hudson 1923: 364, 1934: 182.

Eupines (Byraxis) ignotus : combination and subgeneric assignment by Nomura and Leschen 2006: 255. Maddison 2010: 417; Shen and Leschen 2019: 267 .

Type locality: [ND] Manaia, Whangarei Harbour.

Type depository: BMNH HT ♂ .

Comments: The holotype of E. (B.) ignotus has strongly narrowed elytral bases and the glabrous pronotum lacking median antebasal fovea and the antebasal sulcus that are consistent with members of the genus Gastrobothrus Broun. Here we formally transfer this species from Eupines to Gastrobothrus .
