Eupines (Byraxis) munroi : combination and subgeneric assignment by Raffray 1904: 208. Raffray 1911: 83, 1924: 157; Hudson 1923: 364, 1934: 183; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 255; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [AK] Clevedon.

Broun number: 1871.

Notes: Broun mentioned that he had seven specimens which were located in the BMNH Broun collection. There are an additional two specimens in the NZAC matching the locality with the labels in Brookes’ hand, and are not regarded to be part of the syntype series. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and six paralectotypes are here designated for Bryaxis munroi . The original identification label was written as Byraxis , but the original combination was published under Bryaxis .
