Observations of Neonetus and their distribution throughout New Zealand

Neonetus is a genus of cave wētā in the family Rhaphidophoridae, endemic to New Zealand. All described species are small; when adult, individuals are only about 1 cm long.[1] Neonetus variegatus and N. huttoni are common in native and exotic forests but because they are small and nocturnal, they are often overlooked.[2]

Taxonomy

The genus Neonetus was established by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1888.

Biology

Neonetus are active at night when they are vulnerable to becoming food for rats[3] and kiwi.[4]

Distribution

Current observational data suggests that Neonetus is restricted to the North Island of New Zealand.[5]
