Eupines ( Byraxis ) decens : combination and subgeneric assignment by Raffray 1904: 207 . Raffray 1911: 83 , 1924: 157 ; Hudson 1923: 364 , 1934: 183 ; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 254 ; Maddison 2010: 417 . Type locality: [AK] Paparoa, near Howick. Broun number: 1870. Notes: Broun mentioned that he had two males, with the BMNH Broun collection having two identified specimens that match the locality data. There are also three identified specimens in the same collection with labels in Broun’s hand, two specimens in the BMNH main collection and four specimens in the NZAC with labels in Brookes’ hand: all these additional specimens are not considered to be syntypes . In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and a paralectotype are here designated for Bryaxis decens . The original identification label was written as Byraxis , while the original combination was published under Bryaxis . Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH ): ‘Type [round label with red border] // 1870 [in Broun’s hand] // ♂ [in Broun’s hand] // Paparoa // New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922––482. // Byraxis decens [in Broun’s hand] ’.
