Abstract
Phytophagous (plant and wood feeding) wasps are very poorly represented in New Zealand. Larvae of woodwasps in the endemic genus Moaxiphia (Xiphydriidae) develop in the wood of angiosperms, and although they appear to be widespread they are rarely collected. This paper describes Moaxiphia gourlayi Ward & Goulet sp. n. from New Zealand. New data on species distributions are presented, along with a dichotomous key to Moaxiphia in New Zealand.
