Eupines (Byraxis) monstrosa View in CoL : combination and subgeneric assignment by Raffray 1904: 207. Raffray 1911: 82, 1924: 156; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 255; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: Not indicated in the paper.

Broun number: 3214.

Notes: Reitter mentioned that he had two males but did not indicate the type locality. In this case, we consider the two specimens in the MNHN with the labels written in Reitter’s hand as the syntypes. There is an additional specimen in the NZAC with labels in Brookes’ hand indicating that it is from Sharp’s collection, so it is not considered to be part of the syntype series. In order to stabilize the name, a lectotype and a paralectotype are here designated for Byraxis montrosa .
