Hemiandrus fabella
The ground wētā population near Lake Tekapo New Zealand was formally described in 2026. The informal 'tag' name Hemiandrus 'furoviarius' was given to this population by Peter Johns in 2001. Commonly known as the Tekapo ground wētā, it is a wētā of the family Anostostomatidae. They are a small, flightless, and nocturnal orthopteran endemic to the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island.
