Antechiniscus perplexus Horning & Schuster, 1983 View in CoL ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 )

Material examined: South Island, Canaan Road Terminus, Abel Tasman Park : one paratype from a sample of lichen on a tree .

The cuticular sculpture is double ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ): evident granulation and refracting points (named pores by Horning & Schuster) are present on all plates. The granulation is more evident on the median plates 1, 2 and 3, on the terminal plate and the lateral and posterior portions of the paired plates; the pores are more evident on the scapular and terminal plates. The ventral surface seems to be smooth. The fourth pair of legs without a dentate fringe.
