(typed)”. Condition: Excellent. Molopsida simplex: Britton, 1940: 477. Description. Body: length 4.6–5.8 mm. Head, pronotum, and abdomen brownish black; elytra darker brownish black with interval 1, lateral margins, and apex pale yellowish; antennae, palpi, femora, and tarsi pale yellowish; tibiae infuscate. Microsculpture feeble, very transverse (with microlines). Iridescence absent on head, feeble on pronotum and elytra. Very shiny. Head.

Fauna of New Zealand 69 65 (scape) moderately long, about 1.5× longer than its maximum width, glabrous (excluding apical setae); segment 2 densely pubescent in apical third (glabrous, excluding apical setae, in other species); segment 3 densely pubescent (glabrous, excluding apical setae, in other species). Frontal furrows wide, shallow. Eyes normally developed, moderately large, strongly convex. Tempora oblique, short (about one-third as long as eyes). Mentum: medial tooth acute apically, slightly shorter than lateral lobes. Ligula narrow apically. Paraglossae membranous, prominent, much longer than ligula. Palpi: terminal segment fusiform, not elliptical, sparsely setulose; penultimate maxillary segment sparsely setulose. Thorax. Pronotum (Fig. 123) moderately convex, impunctate, feebly wrinkled basally as well as along median longitudinal impression and apex, strongly transverse, trapezoid; apex strongly arcuate; anterolateral angles strongly developed, obtusely rounded; sides strongly rounded anteriorly, not sinuate posteriorly; lateral beads narrow; lateral depressions absent; two setiferous punctures on each side; each anterolateral setiferous puncture situated well in front of middle and touching lateral bead; posterolateral angles acute and projecting laterally, denticulate; laterobasal foveae absent; posterior bead interrupted medially; base emarginate medially, slightly oblique laterally, slightly narrower than apex, much wider than elytral base. Prosternum impunctate, unwrinkled. Proepisterna impunctate, unwrinkled. Metepisterna impunctate. Elytra. Moderately convex, ovate, widest about middle. Basal margin incomplete, only reaching level of stria 3 (complete, reaching level of stria 1 in other species). Shoulders rounded, denticulate. Sides strongly rounded. Scutellar setiferous pore absent. Scutellar striole bipunctate. Striae complete, shallow (striae 5–7 shallower), virtually impunctate; stria 3 with a single setiferous puncture (behind middle). Intervals depressed, becoming slightly convex apically. Sutural apices angular. Abdomen. Sterna impunctate, unwrinkled. Last visible sternum (sternum VII): male with six apical ambulatory setae (with two or four setae in other species); female with six apical and two medial ambulatory setae. Aedeagus. Lateral view (Fig. 78): strongly arcuate; apex narrow, subtriangular-rounded, strongly projecting ventrally (more so than in other species). Dorsal view: asymmetrical (ostium deflected to the right); apex deflected to the right. Parameres. Left paramere glabrous; right paramere setulose (with numerous short ventral setae in apical half). Material examined. 31 specimens (BMNH, CMNZ, JNNZ, NZAC). Geographic distribution (Map p. 183). South Island: DN–Allison Scenic Reserve (near Akatore). Measly Beach (near Waikaro). Port Chalmers. Taieri Mouth (Picnic Gully). Waipori Falls. Waipori Gorge. Waipori Valley (Government Track). SL–Tapanui (Whisky Gully). Ecology. Lowland. Wet forests (broadleaved, podocarp, beech). Shaded ground; wet soil. Nocturnal; hides during the day mostly in the soil and under stones, sometimes in leaf litter. The species is truly endogean (living in soil crevices or fissures, in deep humus of leaf litter, under well-embedded stones). It is best collected by soil-washing techniques. Biology. Seasonality: September, December to February, April to June. Tenerals: May. Predacious (based on mouthpart morphology). Dispersal power. Elytra fused basally along suture. Subapterous. Moderate runner. Vagility limited by flight incapacity. Reference. Larochelle & Larivière, 2001: 68 (biology, dispersal power, ecology, geographic distribution). Remarks. Trichopsida simplex differs from all other Trichopsida species by the following characters: antennae with segment 2 densely pubescent in apical third (segment 2 glabrous, excluding apical setae in other species), segment 3 densely pubescent (segment 3 glabrous excluding apical setae in other species); elytra with basal margin incomplete, only reaching level of stria 3 (complete, reaching level of stria 1 in other species); last visible sternum (sternum VII) of male abdomen with six apical ambulatory setae (with two or four setae in other species); apex of aedeagus strongly projecting ventrally (more so than in other species). The above-mentioned characters are generally indicative of species-level variation among Moriomorphina and probably do not warrant a different subgeneric or generic status for this species. Trichopsida simplex simply appears to be an odd-looking species of Trichopsida. Trichopsida nitida E new species Figures 124, 219; Map p. 182 Trichopsida nitida Larochelle & Larivière, new species. Holotype: female (NZAC) labelled “NEW ZEALAND BR Tiropahi River 140m 11 Feb 1986 J. Nunn & J.I. Townsend (typed) / NZMS 260: K30: 810144 (typed) / HOLOTYPE [female symbol] Trichopsida nitida Larochelle & Larivière, 2013 (red label; typed).” Description. Body: length 7.6 mm. Head, pronotum, and elytra black; lateral margins and apex of elytra yellowish red; abdomen black; antennae, palpi, and legs entirely pale red. Microsculpture absent. Iridescence absent. Very shiny. Head. Coarsely punctate in frontal furrows, wrinkled on frons, slightly narrower across eyes than pronotal apex. Mandibles short. Labrum moderately transverse, asymmetrical, slightly emarginate anteriorly. Antennae: segment 1 (scape) moderately long, about 2× longer than its maximum width; segments 1–3 glabrous (excluding apical setae). Frontal furrows wide, shallow. Eyes normally
