Deskripsi
The present paper deals with several new faunistic data and remarks on the taxonomy and nomenclature of the New Zealand endemic genus <em>Neocicindela</em> <em>Rivalier</em>, 1963, based on examination of type specimens of several taxa. <em>N. novaseelandica</em> (W. Horn, 1892) comb. nov. is restored as an independent species closely related to but well separated from <em>N. helmsi</em> (Sharp, 1886). Field photographs, as well as those of type specimens and some of their characters are given.
