( Figs 43–44 )

Bryaxis hectori Broun, 1895: 73 . Eupines (Byraxis) hectori : combination and subgeneric assignment by Raffray 1904: 208. Raffray 1911: 83, 1924: 157; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 255; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: [BP] Tarukenga, near Rotorua.

Notes: Broun based this species on two males. Only one specimen in the BMNH main collection that lacks the locality data was located and is still considered to be a syntype because it bears the typical identification label in Broun’s hand. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated for Bryaxis hectori .

Type material examined: Lectotype ( BMNH): ‘ New Zealand [faded red underline] (Broun.) 95-216. // Bryaxis hectori . Broun [in Sharp’s hand] // B. hect . Or. [in Broun’s hand]’.
