Abstract

Parsimony analysis of morphological characters resolves a new species of Henicopinae (Lithobiomorpha) from Lord Howe Island as sister group to Australian and New Zealand species of Henicops Newport 1844. The diagnosis of Henicops is broadened to accommodate H. howensis sp. nov., which is documented with electron micrographs. Cladistic analyses with equal and implied weights resolve the New Caledonian Easonobius Edgecombe 2003 or Henicops brevilabiatus (Ribaut 1923), respectively, as sister to the Lord Howe + Australasian clade.
