| Abstract | Twenty-six species of terrestrial Talitridae (landhoppers) are described and figured from the New Zealand region; all but one are endemic. The species are grouped into seven genera, of which five are new - Kanikania, Makawe, Puhuruhuru, Tara , and Waematau . There are 12 new species - Kanikania motuensis, Makawe waihekensis, M. otamatuakeke, Tara taranaki, T. hauturu, Waematau manawatahi, W. reinga, W. kaitaia, W. unuwhao, W. muriwhenua, Parorchestia ihurawao , and Puhuruhuru aotearoa. Parorchestia stewarti longicornis is raised to specific status as P. longicornis . Proposed new combinations are Kanikania improvisa, K. rubroannulata, Makawe hurleyi, M. insularis, M. maynei, M. parva, Tara simularis, T. sinbadensis , and Puhuruhuru patersoni . The previously synonymised species Orchestia (Parorchestia) sylvicola (Dana) is resurrected in a new combination as Tara sylvicola . One introduced species, Arcitalitrus sylvaticus , is described. Notes are given on ecology, biogeography, and collecting techniques.
