In this study we summarise the knowledge of the history and current state of research on the New Zealand Scirtidae to provide a base for further research on the family. Data on Tord Nyholm's research and collections are presented, based on a study of the archives and collection of Swedish Museum of Natural History. The main part of the paper is a catalogue of all described species of Scirtidae known to occur in New Zealand. A total of 11 genera and 126 species of Scirtidae is recorded for New Zealand, with 82% genera and 100% of species endemic to the New Zealand region. A reference to the original description, type locality, type depository and the known distribution within New Zealand is included for each species. Primary type specimens are illustrated for most species. Type species are designated in the present paper for Cyphanus Sharp, 1878 (type species: Cyphanus debilis Sharp, 1878), Mesocyphon Sharp, 1878 (type species: Mesocyphon marmoratus Sharp, 1878), and Veronatus Sharp, 1878 (type species: Anobium tricostellum White, 1846) as they were not fixed in the original descriptions or in subsequent works. Brounicyphon Pic, 1947 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Veronatus. Cyphon huttoni Sharp, 1878 is transferred to the genus Contacyphon Gozis, 1886.
在本研究中，我们总结了新西兰沼甲科的研究历史和现状，为该科的进一步研究提供基础。基于对瑞典自然历史博物馆档案和藏品的研究，呈现了托德·尼霍尔姆的研究及藏品数据。本文的主要部分是一份已知在新西兰出现的所有已描述沼甲科物种的目录。新西兰共记录有11个属和126种沼甲科昆虫，其中82%的属和100%的物种为新西兰地区特有。每个物种都列出了原始描述、模式产地、模式标本保存地以及在新西兰境内的已知分布。大多数物种都配有原色模式标本图。本文为1878年的Cyphanus Sharp（模式种：1878年的Cyphanus debilis Sharp）、1878年的Mesocyphon Sharp（模式种：1878年的Mesocyphon marmoratus Sharp）和1878年的Veronatus Sharp（模式种：1846年的Anobium tricostellum White）指定了模式种，因为它们在原始描述或后续著作中未被确定。1947年的Brounicyphon Pic被认为是Veronatus的次主观同物异名。1878年的Cyphon huttoni Sharp被转移到1886年的Contacyphon Gozis属。
