  • Acropsopilio

    harvestman

    A genus of tiny harvestmen (Opiliones: Acropsopilionidae) established by Silvestri in 1904. The genus includes several species, with *Acropsopilio neozealandiae* being endemic to New Zealand where extensive collecting has yielded only female specimens, suggesting possible parthenogenetic reproduction. Members are found in forest habitats and are among the smallest harvestmen.

  • Ephippiphora conversana

    Ephippiphora conversana is a species of tortrix moth in the family Tortricidae. The genus Ephippiphora is endemic to New Zealand, and this species appears to be a relatively uncommon, poorly documented member of this small genus. Like other tortricids, it is a small moth with wings folded roof-like over the body at rest. Available records are sparse, with only 13 observations documented on iNaturalist.

  • Zeadolopus

    Zeadolopus is a genus of small carrion beetles in the family Leiodidae, endemic to New Zealand. The genus was established by Thomas Broun in 1903 and comprises several species of round fungus beetles. Members of this genus are part of the tribe Leiodini within the subfamily Leiodinae. The genus is poorly studied, with limited published information on species-level diversity and natural history.
