Description
Table 2. Isoplectron Hutton, 1896 and Praecantrix gen. nov. Summary of Bayesian model results for length of insect body and of hind tibia as a function of sex, geographical coordinates (easting, northing in New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 map grid) and elevation (m a.s.l.). All models run in JASP ver. 0.17.1. Species for which sample size is too small for statistics are omitted. CI stands for credible intervals; for covariates these are only reported where they are significant.

| Praecantrix silvatica gen. et sp. nov. | Body | 23 | + 1.2 mm in ♀ 95% CI: 0.3–1.97 mm | No effect of covariates |
| Hind tibia | 23 | + 0.8 mm in ♀ 95% CI: 0.12–1.43 mm | No effect of covariates | |
| Praecantrix saxicola gen. et sp. nov. | Body | 10 | + 2.8 mm in ♀ 95% CI: 1.56–4.09 mm | Sample size too small |
| Hind tibia | 10 | + 1.8 mm in ♀ 95% CI: 0.06–3.42 mm | Sample size too small |
