( Figs 77–78 )

Bryaxis platynota Broun, 1893a: 1338 . Raffray, 1904: 244.

Eupines platynota : combination by Hudson 1923: 364. Hudson 1934: 183.

Eupines (Eupines) platynota : subgeneric assignment by Nomura & Leschen 2006: 254. Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [HB] Mangawhare , Northern Wairoa .

Broun number: 2346.

Notes: Broun based this species on a single specimen that we located in the BMNH Broun Collection and is confirmed to be the holotype. The original identification label was written as Eupines , but the original combination was published under Bryaxis . This species was questionably placed in the subgenus Eupines by Nomura & Leschen (2006) and will be transferred to the genus Gastrobothrus in a later paper.
