Mimopeus neglectus sp.n. (Figs.18,28) 
Like M. elongatus this species is coastal around part of the coast of the North Island. Watt 
(1961) regarded it as a sub-species of M. elongatus but there is a constant morphological gap 
between the two taxa which is best formally recognised by regarding neglectus as a full 
species. 
Distinguished from M. elongatus in the structure of the aedeagus which in M. neglectus 
is more strongly acuminate apically (Fig.28). It is distinguished from M. humeralis, with 
which it occurs sympatrically and with which it was frequently confused in collections, by the 
stout, less elongate aedeagus, shining pronotum, broadly oval form, broadly rounded elytral 
shoulders, complete absence of carinae at the elytral bases and narrower and less clearly 
defined sub-marginal channels (Fig.18). 
MALE 
Elongate oval, convex (fig.18), colour reddish brown or reddish black, undersurface 
shining reddish brown to reddish black.
