Diagnosis. Members of the helmorei speciesgroup can be distinguished from other Sagola species-groups by the following combination of characters: body length 2.3–2.9 mm; head subquadrate with dense setae around frontal sulcus ( Fig. 29a–b View Fig ); antennomere 1 approximately 2.5 times longer than wide with dull surface; anterior and posterior frontal foveae round ( Fig. 29e View Fig ); frontal sulcus reaching midpoint of eye ( Fig. 29e View Fig ); hind wings welldeveloped; legs elongate and slender ( Fig. 29a–b View Fig ); abdominal tergites IV–VI with discal carinae; genitalia small, not exceeding 0.25 mm ( Fig. 29c–d View Fig ); present on North Island, not known from South Island ( Fig. 30 View Fig ).

KEY TO SPECIES OF THE HELMOREI SPECIES- GROUP

The key is mainly based on male specimens because most female specimens are indistinguishable based on external morphology.
