Descriptions
Stachylina nana Lichtw. 1984
Stachylina nana has a disjunct distribution. Originally described from a site in France, it has also been found in Japan (Lichtwardt et al. 1987) and from two sites on South Island (Williams and Lichtwardt 1990). We report here its occurrence in midge larvae of Tanytarsus vespertinus (site ZEA-80) (one of the host species in our 1987 collections) and in unidentified midge larvae from site ZEA-85.
Stachylina nana Lichtw. 1984
This species of Stachylina was first reported from France (Lichtwardt 1984), and subsequently from Japan (Lichtwardt et al. 1987). Its discovery from two sites on South Island suggests a wider geographic distribution for the species than is presently known.
Most of our specimens came from larvae of Tanytarsus vespertinus Hutton (Chironomidae, Tanytarsini) from site 45. The other collection was from Tanytarsini larvae at site 43. Site 43 (Ashley River) was also a source for Stachylina minima and Austrosmittium kiwiorum, but these two species were restricted to Orthocladiinae larvae.
