Abstract

Abstract Neotrombicula naultini (Dumbleton, 1947) was redescribed from the type specimen and additional specimens collected off Hoplodactylus granulatus (= Dactylocnemus granulatus), Hoplodactylus maculatus , and Hoplodactylus pacificus in New Zealand. Neotrombicula sphenodonti and Microtrombicula hoplodactyla were described, as new species, from specimens collected from New Zealand reptiles.
