Diagnosis
A combination of genitalic characters is characteristic of
G. tewaipounamu
sp. nov.
, as follows. The elongate, slightly bent gonostylus has a densely microtrichose bulge dorsobasally (↓
1
,
Fig. 16B
). Of the gonocoxites, the posteromedial protuberance is largely unmodified except for inconspicuous folds, which indicate some kind of structuring (↓

,
Fig. 16A
); and the medial bridges have a section with large, dense microtrichia (↓

,
Fig. 16A
). The posterolateral processes of the tegmen, which are strongly sclerotized, are a complicated assemblage of teeth, tubercles and serrate ridges (↓

).

tewaipounamu
, is the original Maori name for the South Island of

HEAD. Eye bridge 1–2 ommatidia long dorsally. Flagellomeres 13; apical flagellomere merged of two bodies; neck of fourth flagellomere 1.3 times the node. Palpus slightly shorter than head height, 4 setaebearing segments; apical segment longest of all.

.
LEGS. Basitarsal spines absent.
TERMINALIA. Posterior edge of ninth tergite slightly three-lobed, central lobe rounded, with about 15 megatrichia, flanked by angular-shaped, densely microtrichose side lobes. Gonocoxites sparsely setose ventrally; membranous areas below gonostyli large; ventral emargination U-shaped; ventroposterior lobes large, subtriangular (
Fig. 16A
). Gonostylus twice longer than broad; outside densely setose; inside with dense, fine pubescence, a very few fine setulae (
Fig. 16B
). Apex of ejaculatory apodeme largely unmodified (
Fig. 16C
). Tegmen with distinct pattern of sclerotization in center (
