Cuticle dark brown to black with faint metallic luster; pronotum almost glabrous, only with faint scattered lateral punctation; elytra punctate and striate; frontal stria weakened, occasionally absent; pronotal hypomeron, prosternum, disc of mesoventrite, lateral disc of metaventrite, metepisternum + fused metepimeron and lateral sides of all abdominal ventrites setose; pronotal depressions present; prosternal foveae absent; prosternal apophysis strongly constricted between procoxae, prosternal process thence strongly expanded; carinal prosternal striae present as vague rudiments on prosternal apophysis; lateral prosternal striae absent; meso- and metafemora thickened, with rows of setigerous punctures. Eighth sternite of the male genitalia fused medially, apices with a row of sparse setae. Eighth tergite densely covered in pores and pseudopores. Spiculum gastrale dilated on both ends. Aedeagus narrow, parameres fused on their basal two-thirds. The densely setose venter in combination with coarsely punctate elytra will readily distinguish this New Zealand endemic from all other

The on-going molecular studies by the senior author will hopefully shed more light on the relationships between New Zealand
