Abstract

Six gripopterygid stonefly species are found on New Zealand's subantarctic islands. They belong to the genera Apteryoperla and Aucklandobius, which are endemic to New Zealand and those islands. The only winged species, Aucklandobius complementarius Enderlein, is found on the Auckland Islands with A. gressitti n.sp., Apteryoperla turbotti lilies, and A. kuscheli n.sp. Campbell Island is inhabited by Apteryoperla campbelli lilies and A. longicauda lilies; there is also a doubtful record of Aucklandobius complementarius. All Apteryoperla species except longicauda have terrestrial larvae.
