Atopida is a New Zealand endemic genus distributed in both North and South Islands. Remarkable sexual dimorphism of most species was a source of numerous misinterpretations in studies by Thomas Brounmales and females of the same species were often described as distinct taxa. After examining type material of all species and over 600 additional unidentified specimens from several institutions, the following new synonyms were established: Atopida grahami Broun, 1910 is a junior synonym of A. hirta Broun, 1880; A. pallidula Broun, 1921 is a junior synonym of A. impressa Broun, 1914; A. basalis Broun, 1912 and A. sinuata Broun, 1893 are junior synonyms of A. proba Sharp, 1878; A. lawsoni Sharp, 1878 is a junior synonym of A. suturalis (White, 1846). The following eight species are newly described: Atopida insularis sp. nov., A. lescheni sp. nov., A. paparoa sp. nov., A. paringa sp. nov., A. tuhua sp. nov., A. waipoua sp. nov., A. walkerae sp. nov., and A. westlandensis sp. nov.
阿特波达属是新西兰特有的属，分布于北岛和南岛。大多数物种具有显著的性二态性，这导致托马斯·布朗的研究中出现了许多误解，同一物种的雌雄个体经常被描述为不同的分类单元。在检查了所有物种的模式标本以及来自多个机构的 600 多个额外未识别标本后，确立了以下新的同义词：阿特波达·格拉汉姆氏种布朗，1910 年是阿特波达·赫塔氏种布朗，1880 年的次同物异名；阿特波达·苍白种布朗，1921 年是阿特波达·印象种布朗，1914 年的次同物异名；阿特波达·巴氏种布朗，1912 年和阿特波达·弯曲种布朗，1893 年是阿特波达·_probabilis_夏普，1878 年的次同物异名；阿特波达·劳森氏种夏普，1878 年是阿特波达·缝合种（怀特，1846 年）的次同物异名。以下 8 个物种是新描述的：阿特波达·伊斯拉沃伊斯种，阿特波达·莱申种，阿特波达·帕帕罗阿种，阿特波达·帕林加种，阿特波达·图瓦哈种，阿特波达·怀波瓦种，阿特波达·沃克勒种，阿特波达·韦斯特兰种。
