In New Zealand, the genus Pselaphaulax Reitter is represented by thirteen species. Six new species are described: Pselaphaulax hornabrooki Owens and Carlton, sp. nov.; Pselaphaulax intermedius Owens and Carlton, sp. nov., Pselaphaulax nunni Owens and Carlton, sp. nov.; Pselaphaulax pelorus Owens and Carlton, sp. nov.; Pselaphaulax ramsayi Owens and Carlton, sp. nov.; and Pselaphaulax tararua Owens and Carlton, sp. nov. Pselaphus trifoveatus Broun, 1914 is synonymized under Pselaphus pilifrons Broun, 1914 syn. nov. and is transferred to Pselaphaulax comb. nov. Two species, Pselaphus pilistriatus Broun, 1880 and Pselaphus fuscopilus Broun, 1886 are synonymized under Pselaphus pauper Sharp syn. nov., which is also transferred to Pselaphaulax comb. nov. Pselaphus meliusculus Broun, 1893 is also transferred to Pselaphaulax comb. nov. Lectotypes and paralectotypes are designated for the Broun and Sharp species. Distributional maps and line drawings of diagnostic characters for each species are provided. A regional checklist and key are provided to species of the genus that occur in New Zealand.
在新西兰，Pselaphaulax Reitter 属有 13 种。描述了六个新物种：Pselaphaulax hornabrooki Owens 和 Carlton，sp. nov.；Pselaphaulax intermedius Owens 和 Carlton，sp. nov.，Pselaphaulax nunni Owens 和 Carlton，sp. nov.；Pselaphaulax pelorus Owens 和 Carlton，sp. nov.；Pselaphaulax ramsayi Owens 和 Carlton，sp. nov.；和 Pselaphaulax tararua Owens 和 Carlton，sp. nov. Pselaphus trifoveatus Broun，1914 被同义于 Pselaphus pilifrons Broun，1914 syn. nov.，并转移到 Pselaphaulax comb. nov. 两种，Pselaphus pilistriatus Broun，1880 和 Pselaphus fuscopilus Broun，1886 被同义于 Pselaphus pauper Sharp syn. nov.，也转移到 Pselaphaulax comb. nov. Pselaphus meliusculus Broun，1893 也转移到 Pselaphaulax comb. nov. 为 Broun 和 Sharp 物种指定了模式标本和副模式标本。提供了每个物种的分布地图和鉴别特征的线条图。提供了新西兰出现的该属物种的区域清单和关键。
