First record: 2 ♂♂, ND: Kaeo, 16 Jan 1921 (AMNZ) (apparently true U. ornithopteralis with no U. maorialis characters (see below)). A badly damaged specimen, Waitangi, Bay of Islands, ND, 14 Mar 1949, K.P. Lamb (NZAC) also apparently true U. ornithopteralis.
Possibly all other specimens under this name in NZ collections are the result of hybridisation between U. ornithopteralis and U. maorialis (C. Felder, R. Felder & Rogenhofer)
