Szepligetella deercreeki Deans & Mikó in Balhoff et al., 2013: 15 .

Material examined

NEW CALEDONIA • 1 ♀; Grande Terre, Province Sud, Yaté, Kwâkwê ; 21°54′56.21″ S, 166°33′18.66″ E; alt. 834 m; 19 Oct. 2017; C. Villemant leg.; MNHN GoogleMaps .

Distribution

Species known only from New Caledonia, Grande Terre, Province Sud: Col d’Amieu ( 400 m), Yaté (Kwâkwê) and Mt. Do ( 1100 m) (see detailed data in Balhoff et al. 2013: appendix 2).

Remarks

This female agrees with the description of S. deercreeki except for its size ( 7.1 mm vs 5.3–6.6 mm for the types) and the presence of the median carina of lower face. We are reluctant to describe a new species based only on the latter criteria, additional specimens from various parts of New Caledonia as well as DNA barcoding may solve this problem.
