Diagnosis
Antipodosis granvillensis
gen. et sp. nov.
is distinguished from the congeneric species by two unique characters: the gonostylus bears apically a single, tooth-like spine (↓,
Fig. 4A
), and the dorsal parameral tusks are two-branched (↓,
Fig. 4B
).
Etymology
The name
granvillensis
, an adjective, is derived from Granville State Forest in the
West Coast region
of South Island, which is the
type
locality of this species.
