Taxonomic revision demonstrates valid genus status for New Zealand springtail Urewera, expanding Entomobryinae classification.
Here, we revise and revalidate the endemic New Zealand genus Urewera Salmon, 1938 stat. rev., providing a new diagnosis and assigning 14 species to the genus. The type species, Urewera fuchsiata Salmon, 1938 comb. rev., is redescribed based on type material and additional specimens from other localities. We also provide a comparison between the nine scaled genera of Entomobryinae with eight eyes, bidentate mucro, and dens lacking spines. With the present revision, the subfamily now has 31 genera, 17 of which having body scales.
