Abstract
ABSTRACT A new mosquito species from the Chatham Islands Aedes (Ochlerotatus) arundinariae, previously misidentified as Ae. (Nothoskusea) chathamicus (Dumbleton, 1962), is described from females only as New Zealand’s 13th endemic mosquito species. The new species has been known from a few specimens for more than ten years. It has not been found since, despite further collecting effort. Aedes (Och.) arundinariae sp. nov. is easily recognised by a distinctive checked pattern of scales on sternites 3–7. Previous confusion about the habitat preferences of Aedes (Noth.) chathamicus and the new species is clarified, with the former being found in coastal localities and the new species found inland.

期刊介绍：
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
