23. excavata View in CoL species-group
(2 species)
Diagnosis. Members of excavata species-group can be distinguished from other Sagola speciesgroups by the following combination of characters: body small, length 1.9–2.9 mm; frontal sulcus deep and reaching vertexal fovea ( Fig. 54e View Fig ); anterior frontal fovea round and partially covered by frontal rostrum, posterior frontal fovea keyholeshaped ( Fig. 54e View Fig ); hind wings fully developed; abdominal tergites IV–VI with discal carinae; Male tergite V distinctly depressed, with processes from anterior and posterior edge with long and dense setae between processes ( Fig. 54a–b, f View Fig ); only known from North Island ( Fig. 55 View Fig ).
KEY TO SPECIES OF THE EXCAVATA SPECIES- GROUP
The key is based on male specimens because most female specimens are indistinguishable based on external morphology.
