Morgan-Richards (1995): New species of tree weta from North Island

Morgan-Richards, M 1995 A new species of tree weta from the North Island of new Zealand (Hemideina: Stenopelmatidae: Orthoptera). New Zealand Entomologist, 1995, Vol 18: 15-23 (3 copies)

New discovery from Hawkes Bay. Differs from Wellington tree weta only in the colouration of the pronotum (upper surface of the protorax; the foremost section of thorax) – it is light yellow/orange. It also differs in two different allozyme loci and karyotype. I don’t really think this is of much use to Team Weta.
