Abstract: Species of the genus Epuraea Erichson, 1845 from New Zealand are revised and
redescribed. The New Zealand fauna comprises six species. One new species,
Epuraea glabrata sp. nov. is described. Epuraea mayendorfi i (Reitter, 1873) is
provided as a valid replacement name for Nitidula lateralis (White, 1846), not
Nitidula lateralis C. R. Sahlberg, 1820. One new synonymy is proposed, Epuraea
mayendorfi i (Reitter, 1873) = Epuraea zealandica Sharp, 1878, syn. nov.
