PERISCELIDIDAE [Andrew]

• Cyamops sp. indet.* Khoo 1985 ?E

Additions to NZIB

• Cyamops alessandrae Mathis & Sueyoshi, 2011 E
• Cyamops crosbyi Mathis & Sueyoshi, 2011 E
• Stenomicra sp. indet. [NEW RECORD]

Notes

• Mathis & Sueyoshi (2011) did not examine the material seen by Khoo (1985), so it cannot be determined at present if Khoo's material represents a third species
• Stenomicra sp. indet. has recently identified in N.Z. by me (2 specimens deposited in AMNZ)
  • a third specimen has recently turned up (see fig. 3)
