Record. * Viti Levu, Fiji, Melanesia.

Remarks. Sørensen reported the collecting locality as "Polynesia, on 'Viti' island". He was referring to Viti Levu, the largest island of the Fiji and a constituent of Melanesia, not Polynesia. The holotype is a typical female lacking sexually dimorphic armature. This species is markedly smaller than Z. robusta , described concurrently from Viti Levu.
