Rayforstia antipoda (Forster, 1959), comb. n.

Figs 86 C–D, 87D

Textricella antipoda Forster, 1959: 288, figs 33–34 (holotype male from Meads Landing, Lake Hawea, Otago, New Zealand, in Canterbury Museum, not examined). Brignoli, 1983: 375. Platnick, 2009.

Selected material examined. NEW ZEALAND: South Island: Otago: Meads Landing, Lake Hawea, 20.I.1951, R. Forster, 1♁, 1♀ (AMNH) ; Kidds Bush, Lake Hawea, 9.IV.1979, R. Forster, 6♁, 11♀ (AMNH) .

Remarks. Rayforstia antipoda is most similar to the other eight-eyed species of Rayforstia described from New Zealand ( R. insula, R. mcfarlanei, R. signata and R. vulgaris), but can be distinguished by the distinctive shape of the external epigyne and the L-shaped receptacula (Figs 86D, 87D).
