Specimens of

group but can be distinguished by the shape of the male genitalia (
Fig. 10a
).
Description.

1.1–1.3 mm
(
Fig. 5d–e
).
Head
: Winged male head approximately 1.36 times, female 1.48 times longer than wide. Winged male eye approximately 1.33 times, female 0.32 times longer than temple. Winged male antennomeres 3–8 subquadrate, 9 slightly transverse, 10 transverse. Female antennomeres 3–4 subquadrate, 5 slightly transverse, 6–10 transverse.
Thorax
: Pronotum as long as wide. Winged male elytra approximately 1.93 times, female 1.27 times longer than pronotum. Winged male meso- and metaventrites trapezoidal, approximately 1.70 times, female 1.17 times longer than pronotum.
Aedeagus
: Apical lobe of male genitalia blunt anteriorly and bent to right (
Fig. 10a
). Left paramere slightly longer than right, otherwise symmetrical, setae present anteriorly (
Fig. 10a
).
Distribution.
Northern part of North Island,
New Zealand
(
Fig. 9
, circles).
Habitat.
Specimens were collected using window traps, flight intercept traps (FIT), and by sifting leaf, log, and tree fern litter in
Nothofagus
, hardwood, podocarp, and broadleaf forests. Three specimens were collected among roots of
Metrosideros robusta
A. Cunn. (Myrtaceae)
.
