Northland tusked wētā


The Northland tusked wētā, Anisoura nicobarica, is a rare monotypic wētā of the family Anostostomatidae, endemic to the northern half of Northland in New Zealand. It was originally described in the ground wētā genus Hemiandrus , but was later put into a newly-created genus, Anisoura. The type specimen was wrongly labelled as coming from the Nicobar Islands, so the species was named Anisoura nicobarica''.
