Checklist of New Zealand Hymenoptera

The classification used in the checklist follows that of Sharkey (2007: Phylogeny and classification of Hymenoptera. Zootaxa 1668: 521–548). Over 500 genera from 47 families are currently recorded from New Zealand.

The checklist is based upon Valentine and Walker's 1991 Annotated Catalogue of New Zealand Hymenoptera (which lists 549 species of Hymenoptera in 291 genera), and also the work done by Jo Berry on previous versions of this checklist.

Conventions in the checklist: CB = classical biological control introduction; E = endemic, only known from New Zealand (for species-level taxa); P = imported purposefully for pollination; A = accidentally introduced; N = native to New Zealand but also native elsewhere.

This checklist will be updated as required or appropriate. Not all available information is presented here; more information on specific taxa can be requested. Authors of taxonomic changes and other people with information about corrections or additions are encouraged to notify the Primary Contact: (see below) and to send reprints or photocopies of publications regarding these matters.
