Checklist

TROMBICULIDAE
5 genera, 6 species

  • Guntheria apteryxi Loomis & Goff, 1983 E ZooBank
  • Microtrombicula hoplodactyla Goff, Loomis & Ainsworth, 1988 E ZooBank
  • Neotrombicula naultini (Dumbleton, 1947) E ZooBank
  • Neotrombicula sphenodonti Goff, Loomis & Ainsworth, 1988 E ZooBank
  • Odontacarus lygosomae (Dumbleton, 1947) E ZooBank
  • Whartonacarus sp.

NZIB checklist [pp. 85, 86]

LEEUWENHOEKIIDAE

  • Odontacarus lygosomae (Dumbleton, 1947)

TROMBICULIDAE

  • Guntheria (Derrickiella) apteryxi Loomis & Goff, 1983
  • Neotrombicula hoplodactyla Goff, Loomis & Ainsworth, 1987
  • Neotrombicula naultini (Dumbleton, 1947)
  • Neotrombicula sphenodonti Goff, Loomis & Ainsworth, 1987
  • Whartonacarus sp.

Notes

  • the problems/errors with the NZIB list are as follows:
    • the combination Neotrombicula hoplodactyla appears to be entirely spurious (and it is certainly not the original combination)
    • the actual publication date of the Goff, Loomis & Ainsworth article is 1988, see ZooBank
    • recognition of LEEUWENHOEKIIDAE as a distinct family, contra Shatrov & Kudryashova (2008)
    • all the described species should be presumed endemic to N.Z.
