Abstract
The original description of Scheloribates crassus Hammer, 1967 was incomplete, lacking information and figures about some morphological structures. Our specimens of S. crassus match broadly with the original description of the type specimens. However, there are the following differences: the morphological structures of leg I–II, the number of saccules, the presence of small holes between h3. Therefore, to help with its identification and discussion in the future, supplementary description of specimens is necessary. The supplementary description of Scheloribates crassus Hammer, 1967 is presented on the basis of specimens from Auckland and Bay of Plenty, New Zealand in this paper.
