The checklist sequence follows mainly the classification proposed by Lawrence & Newton (1995). Numbers in brackets are unique identifiers for each family. Columns of numbers are estimated totals of genera and species currently recognised in New Zealand.
Numbers of species are based on published data (e.g., Holloway 1982, Watt 1982a, 1992, Ordish 1984, Werner & Chandler 1995, Klimaszewski et al. 1996) and the total number, including undescribed species, in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection (NZAC).
