Chimerothalassius sp. 1

(Fig. 3)

Material examined. NEW ZEALAND: North Island, Auckland Region, Takapuna Beach, 36°47ʹ06.9ʺS 174°46ʹ31.0ʺE, 3.iv.2019, R. J. Le Grice (1♀, NZAC, photo) .

Remarks. This single female is probably a specimen of C. marshalli sp. nov., based on its postpedicel shape, dark brown palpus, strong dark genal setae, strong mesonotal setae and brownish legs, but the discovery of a male from Takapuna Beach is required to confirm its identity.
