Diagnosis
A peculiarity of G. aotearoa sp. nov. is the markedly bulbous gonostylus (↓ 1, Fig. 4B View Fig ). Of the gonocoxites, the membranous areas below the gonostyli are conspicuously large (↓ 2, Fig. 4A View Fig ), the small, subrectangular, ventral emargination (↓ 3, Fig. 4A View Fig ) is flanked by subtriangular lobes of moderate size, and the posteromedial protuberance is inconspicuous. The posterolateral processes of the tegmen have serrate edges, including one larger, bent sawtooth anteriorly (↓ 4, Fig. 4C View Fig ).
Etymology
The specific epithet, aotearoa , is the Maori name for the country of New Zealand, meaning “land of the long white cloud”.

Distribution and phenology
The single specimen known of G. aotearoa sp. nov. was Malaise trapped at the height of summer in an old-growth native forest in the north of New Zealand’s South Island. The same trap collected simultaneously four other species of Glemparon : G. birhojohmi sp. nov., G. cervus sp. nov., G. rotoroa sp. nov., and G. tewaipounamu sp. nov.
