( Figs. 20 View FIGURES 6 – 20 , 33 View FIGURES 21 – 33 , 40, 47 View FIGURES 34 – 47 , 54, 61 View FIGURES 48 – 61 )

Material examined. New Zealand: South Island, 1 3, FD, Waiau River bridge Kepler track, 16.x.2008 (G. W. Gibbs), JD#2307 (dry ZMUC); 1 last instar, SL, Longwood Range, Bald Hill, 8.xii.2007 (J. Damgaard), JD#1930 (ethanol ZMUC).

Comment. The single male resembles X. kinlochensis because of the presence of the basally developed vein M of the tegmina ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 6 – 20 ) as well as the shape of the aedeagus ( Figs. 33 View FIGURES 21 – 33 , 40 View FIGURES 34 – 47 ) and pygophore ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 48 – 61 ); but it has an oblong-oval body shape, a cross vein in the basal radial cell ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 6 – 20 ), shorter parameres ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 34 – 47 ), and a slightly more slender male anal tube ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 48 – 61 ). More material is needed to elucidate the identity of this specimen and that of the nymph from Bald Hill whose association with the male is provisional.
