Xenophyes sp. (Figs. 20, 33, 40, 47, 54, 61) Material examined. New Zealand: South Island, 1 3, FD, Waiau River bridge Kepler track, 16.x.2008 (G. W. Gibbs), JD#2307 (dry ZMUC); 1 last instar, SL, Longwood Range, Bald Hill, 8.xii.2007 (J. Damgaard), JD#1930 (ethanol ZMUC). Comment. The single male resembles X. kinlochensis because of the presence of the basally developed vein M of the tegmina (Fig. 20) as well as the shape of the aedeagus (Figs. 33, 40) and pygophore (Fig. 61); but it has an oblong-oval body shape, a cross vein in the basal radial cell (Fig. 20), shorter parameres (Fig. 47), and a slightly more slender male anal tube (Fig. 54). More material is needed to elucidate the identity of this specimen and that of the nymph from Bald Hill whose association with the male is provisional.
