Type locality: [AK] Auckland .

Broun number: 240.

Notes: Sharp did not mention the number of specimens he examined. Two specimens in the BMNH main collection lacking the locality label were located but are still considered to be syntypes because they bear the typical type labels used by Sharp. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and a paralectotype are here designated for Bryaxis grata .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): ‘ Type H. T. [round label with red border] // N. Zeald [in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Bryaxis grata ♂ Type. D.S. [in Sharp’s hand] ’. Paralectotype ( BMNH): ‘ N. Zeald [in Sharp’s hand] // Sharp Coll. 1905-313. // Bryaxis grata ♀ Type. D.S. [in Sharp’s hand] ’.
