Remarks. Rayforstia salmoni is a distinctive species from the North Island of New Zealand. It is most similar to the other six-eyed species of Rayforstia de-

scribed from New Zealand ( R. plebeia, R. propinqua, R. scuta and R. wisei), but can be distinguished by the distinctive shape of the external epigyne and receptacula (Figs 86G, 87G).
