Description

Eupines (Byraxis) longiceps Raffray, 1904

(Figs 55–56)

Eupines (Byraxis) longiceps Raffray, 1904: 124. Raffray 1911: 83, 1924: 157; Nomura & Leschen 2006: 255; Maddison 2010: 417.

Type locality: New Zealand.

Notes: Raffray did not mention the number of specimens he examined, nor did he indicate a specific locality. One specimen in the MNHN and two specimens in the BMNH main collection with labels in Raffray’s hand were located. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and two paralectotype are here designated for Eupines (Byraxis) longiceps.
