Abstract
Acritelater n.gen. is erected for 4 New Zealand elaterids that were formerly included in the Australian genus Elatichrosis. The following new combinations and synonymies are proposed: Acritelater reversus (Sharp) n.comb. (= Elatichrosis eximia (Broun) n.syn., = Elatichrosis impressa (Broun) n.syn., = Elatichrosis dubitans (Broun) n.syn.); Acritelater barbatus (Candèze) n.comb. (= Elatichrosis valida (Broun) n.syn.); Acritelater setiger (Broun) n.comb. (= Elatichrosis brevicollis (Broun) n.syn.); Acritelater elongatus (Sharp) n.comb. Redescriptions, illustrations, and an identification key are provided for all species recognised.Keywords
