Abstract

Abstract. New Zealand is home to 30 recognised endemic mite harvestman species and subspecies, 26 of which were described by Ray Forster in 1948 and 1952. These species comprise three genera: Rakaia Hirst, 1926, Neopurcellia Forster, 1948, and Aoraki Boyer & Giribet, 2007. Here, we focus on the diversity and distribution of Aoraki: we describe A. grandis Boyer, Tuffield & Dohr, sp. nov. and A. meridialis Boyer, Hahn & Ward, sp. nov. and we synonymise A. granulosa (Forster, 1952) with A. tumidata (Forster, 1948), bringing the total of named species and subspecies to twelve, and extending the southern range of the genus by over 100 km. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed three major lineages within the genus characterised by differing levels of granulation of the male fourth tarsus. We report striking variation in the range size and level of genetic structuring present within currently recognised species and subspecies of Aoraki, and propose future studies to address evolutionary, biogeographic and taxonomic questions in the group. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:BDD4D61C-B099–44D5–949C-34AD217A016F.

新西兰特有捕螨器属奥拉基螨的多样性和分布（蛛形纲、蝶形目、眼形目、小蠊科），并附两个新种的描述

摘要新西兰有30种公认的地方性螨虫收割机物种和亚种，其中26种是由雷·福斯特在1948年和1952年描述的。这些物种包括三个属:Rakaia Hirst, 1926年，Neopurcellia Forster, 1948年，和Aoraki Boyer & Giribet, 2007年。在这里，我们将重点放在奥拉基的多样性和分布上:我们描述了A. grandis Boyer, Tuffield & Dohr, sp. 11月和A. meridialis Boyer, Hahn & Ward, sp. 11月，我们将A. granulosa (Forster, 1952)和A. tumidata (Forster, 1948)同义词化，使命名的种和亚种总数达到12种，并将该属的南部范围扩大了100多公里。我们的系统发育分析揭示了属内的三个主要谱系，其特征是雄性第四跗关节的肉芽水平不同。我们报告了在目前已知的奥拉基种和亚种中存在的范围大小和遗传结构水平的惊人变化，并提出了未来的研究，以解决该群体的进化，生物地理和分类问题。urn: lsid zoobank.org:酒吧:bdd4d61c b099 - 44 d5 - 949 c - 34 ad217a016f。

期刊介绍： Invertebrate Systematics (formerly known as Invertebrate Taxonomy) is an international journal publishing original and significant contributions on the systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of all invertebrate taxa. Articles in the journal provide comprehensive treatments of clearly defined taxonomic groups, often emphasising their biodiversity patterns and/or biological aspects. The journal also includes contributions on the systematics of selected species that are of particular conservation, economic, medical or veterinary importance. Invertebrate Systematics is a vital resource globally for scientists, students, conservation biologists, environmental consultants and government policy advisors who are interested in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems. Invertebrate Systematics is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
