Description
Rayforstia antipoda (Forster, 1959), comb. n.
Figs 86 C–D, 87D
Textricella antipoda Forster, 1959: 288, figs 33–34 (holotype male from Meads Landing, Lake Hawea, Otago, New Zealand, in Canterbury Museum, not examined). Brignoli, 1983: 375. Platnick, 2009.
Selected material examined. NEW ZEALAND: South Island: Otago: Meads Landing, Lake Hawea, 20.I.1951, R. Forster, 1♁, 1♀ (AMNH); Kidds Bush, Lake Hawea, 9.IV.1979, R. Forster, 6♁, 11♀ (AMNH).
Remarks. Rayforstia antipoda is most similar to the other eight-eyed species of Rayforstia described from New Zealand (R. insula, R. mcfarlanei, R. signata and R. vulgaris), but can be distinguished by the distinctive shape of the external epigyne and the L-shaped receptacula (Figs 86D, 87D).
