Archaeoteleia
species incertae sedis
Two female specimens from the
North Island
(
TK
,
Mt Egmont; 21 km N of Ohura
) are very close to
A. novaezealandiae
but differ in several small ways.
They are somewhat smaller (3.8, 4.0 mm long), lack strongly angulate epomial corners at the end of the transverse pronotal carina, and have slightly weaker sculpture on the metasomal tergites than South Island specimens. We exclude them from
A. novaezealandiae
but prefer not to erect a
new species
until more material, including males, is obtained.
