depicts just such an aedeagus in posterior view. Knight did not illustrate it in lateral view, and fig. 3e is clearly a lateral view of the aedeagus depicted in fig. 3c, based on the relative length of the apical processes, though the wording in the figure caption somewhat misleadingly suggests that it corresponds instead to fig. 3f. Hence, it is unclear if the aedeagus depicted in fig. 3f was distinctly angled posteriorly in lateral view or not. Figs. 26 and 27 in

One specimen will be vouchered intact in Auckland Museum (the aedeagus was visible without dissection while the specimen was fresh). The shape of the aedeagus in anterior/posterior aspect clearly matches fig. 3f in

. Both were claimed to be males, though the Mount Albert specimen was described as "missing except for tegmina and right hind tibia". It would be very difficult to recognise this specimen as a male, if this were the case, and impossible to identify it without the aedeagus, so I have my doubts about this record. Perhaps they meant to say that it was "missing tegmina and right hind tibia"? That would make more sense, but it is not what they said. It is not entirely clear if the aedeagus of the other specimen, from Henderson, was examined either. At any rate, with such a small amount of material of
