Description

Szepligetella deercreeki Deans & Mikó, 2013

Fig. 6A

Szepligetella deercreeki Deans & Mikó in Balhoff et al., 2013: 15.

Material examined

NEW CALEDONIA • 1 ♀; Grande Terre, Province Sud, Yaté, Kwâkwê; 21°54′56.21″ S, 166°33′18.66″ E; alt. 834 m; 19 Oct. 2017; C. Villemant leg.; MNHN.

Distribution

Species known only from New Caledonia, Grande Terre, Province Sud: Col d’Amieu (400 m), Yaté (Kwâkwê) and Mt. Do (1100 m) (see detailed data in Balhoff et al. 2013: appendix 2).

Remarks

This female agrees with the description of S. deercreeki except for its size (7.1 mm vs 5.3–6.6 mm for the types) and the presence of the median carina of lower face. We are reluctant to describe a new species based only on the latter criteria, additional specimens from various parts of New Caledonia as well as DNA barcoding may solve this problem.
