Zorotypus novobritannicus n. sp., the first species of the order Zoraptera (Zorotypidae) from the Australasian Ecozone

摘要

Zorotypus novobritannicus n. sp. (Polyneoptera: Zoraptera: Zorotypidae) is described from the Australasian ecozone from males and females of both apterous and dealated morphs. The description includes detailed accounts of head and thorax of the eyeless apterous morphs, head of the dealated winged morph with both eyes and ocelli, and the male and female abdomen and terminalia. Zorotypus novobritannicus n. sp. has unique, palmate setae on the lateral and ventral sides of the cerci of both sexes and dealated winged morphs are found at much higher densities than have been reported for any other species of Zoraptera.
