Waipapamyia elongata Jaschhof & Kallweit sp. n.

( Figs 24 , 97–99 )

Diagnosis. Preepisternum 2 in W. elongata is light, while it is dark in W. truncata and bicolored in W. dentata . The male gonocoxites are longer than in the other two species ( Fig. 97 ). The parameres are vestigial ( Fig. 99 ), while they are large, tusk-shaped in the other two species.

Description. Male. Thorax. Scutum mainly dark. Anepisternum 2, preepisternum 2 and anepimeron 2 light. Laterotergite darker than pleura and scutum. Ventral half of mediotergite pale.

Wing. Fig. 24 . Length 2.0 mm. A1 slightly curved.

Terminalia. Gonocoxites strikingly long ( Fig. 97 ). Gonostylus small in relation to gonocoxites ( Fig. 97 ); apex subtriangular, with pointed spine; on dorsomesal margin 7 macrosetae in line plus 1 macroseta in some distance ( Fig. 98 ). Aedeagus/paramere complex elongate; parameres vestigial; apex of ejaculatory apodeme axe-shaped ( Fig. 99 ).

Female. Unknown.

Distribution and phenology. As in W. dentata .

Etymology. From Latin, elongatus, elongate, referring to the long gonocoxites.

Types. Holotype. Male*, New Zealand, North Island, Taupo, Pureora Forest, Waipapa Reserve, in podocarp forest, 570 m, 15 Dec. 1983, by Malaise trap, J. Hutcheson (in NZAC). Paratype. 1* male, same data as the holotype but 29 Dec. 1983 (in SMTD).
