New Zealand Invertebrates

11005-27403 Elegant cave weta (undescribed Genus and species) male. This striking cave weta, was found by Rod in December 1993, on rock bluffs on the Kahutara Saddle. He had also recorded it in the head of Kowhai Stream Nature Reserve in January that year. It has also recently been collected on Mt Skedaddle (Organ Range), near Hanmer Springs, and so its distribution may span the whole of the Seaward Kaikouras. Kahutara Saddle *
