Myriapoda Chilopoda Lithobiomorpha Henicopidae Paralamyctes Paralamyctes rahuensis New Zealand

Abstract

Paralamyctes (Paralamyctes) rahuensis n. sp. is endemic to the Buller area of South Island, New Zealand. Cladistic analysis of morphological characters indicates closest relations to P. (P.) harrisi Archey, 1922, from North Island, and P. (P.) monteithi Edgecombe, 2001, from Queensland, Australia.
