Abstract

Mecodema chaiup sp. nov. (Carabidae: Broscini) is described from a single male specimen collected from Mohi Bush Scenic Reserve, Maraetotara Plateau, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The species is unique among Mecodema in that its elytra are narrower than the pronotum at the widest point. Based on body size and elytral configuration this species could represent the first member of the ‘costellum species group’ found in the North Island. Alternatively, aedeagal and head configuration support a close phylogenetic relationship with the widespread M. oconnori. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:ACFCBAC9-9013-4F1B-9FCE-09F2CE79DC70

新西兰Hawke's Bay地区甲足类(carabides: Broscini)一独特种及其对南北岛屿动物地理学的启示

在新西兰Hawke's Bay Maraetotara高原的Mohi Bush风景区，描述了一种单雄的Mecodema chaiup sp. 11 .(甲足科:Broscini)。这个物种是独特的，在足水肿中，它的鞘翅在最宽的地方比前角窄。根据体型和鞘翅结构，这个物种可能是北岛发现的“肋骨物种群”的第一个成员。另外，叶面和头部的结构支持了与广泛分布的稻稻的密切的系统发育关系。http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:ACFCBAC9-9013-4F1B-9FCE-09F2CE79DC70

期刊介绍： The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research. The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history. The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
