Selected material examined. NEW ZEALAND: North Island: Auckland: Little Barrier Island, 9.XII.1950, 1♁, 1♀ ( AMNH). Hawke’s Bay: Makahu Spur, Kaweka Range, 24.II.1971, J. Townsend, 23♁, 36♀ ( AMNH).

Remarks. Taliniella nigra is a dark brown species with a complex male pedipalpal patella, recognised by Forster (1959) as different to all other Textricellini in New Zealand. It has a relatively widespread distribution on the North Island, although morphological variation exists across the range of this species ( Forster 1959). It can be distinguished from T. vinki by the absence of a dorsal scute on the male abdomen (Fig. 127A) and by the shorter embolus (Fig. 134A).
