Notogaster wornerae Fernandez-Triana & Ward , sp. nov.

( Figs 21 View FIGURE 21 A–H)

Holotype. Male ( LUNZ), NEW ZEALAND, Stewart Island , Table Hill, Rakeahua track, -47.0032 167.8004, sweeping, 8/2/1991, S.P. Worner. GoogleMaps

Diagnostic description. Mesosoma entirely to mostly dark (dark brown or black), lighter areas very small and localized; metasoma dorsally entirely dark (brown or black); gena with relatively large and clear pale spot; tegula dark; first two pairs of legs mostly dark (brown to black); metacoxa dark; metafemur mostly pale (yellow, orange or light yellow-brown); metatibia mostly yellow; T 2 mostly sculptured. See Table 1 View TABLE 1 for additional morphological measurements. Notogaster wornerae is probably the most distinguishable species in the genus, based on the trapezoidal shape of T 2 (its width at posterior margin 1.2 × its median length) and fore wing vein 1CUa comparatively very short (0.33 × as long as vein 1CUb). It is also the only species known from Stewart Island.

Molecular data. There are no DNA barcode sequences in BOLD for this species.

Distribution. Only known from a single specimen from Stewart Island ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 1−9 ).

Etymology. Named after Sue Worner, the collector of the type specimen, for her contribution to entomology in New Zealand.
