A total of 27 taxa from taxonomic groups with few species, or that are less well known, are listed as Threatened, 50 taxa are AtRisk, 110 taxa are DataDeficientand three taxa are Extinct. Thirteen taxa are NationallyCritical: Aceria clianthi; Eriophyoidea incertae(Acari); Cryptopssp.; Haasiellasp. (Chilopoda); Burmjapyxsp. (Diplura); Hirudobdella antipodum(Hirudinea); Antiponemertes allisonae(Nemertini); Prasmiola unica(Opiliones); and Tepakiphasma ngatikuri(Phasmatodea) are freeliving whereas the lice Apterygon okarito, Coloceras harrisoni, Rallicola takaheand Saemundssonia chathamensis(Phthiraptera) have the same threat status as their bird hosts. No taxa were considered Nationally Endangeredbut 14 ectoparasites are Nationally Vulnerable, including six Acari and eight Phthiraptera. The AtRisktaxa comprise two that are Declining, four that are Recovering, one that is Relictand 45 taxa that are NaturallyUncommon. Earthworms (Oligochaeta) also make up 101 of the 110 DataDeficienttaxa. All of the Extinctspecies were host-specific feather lice: two were on extinct birds and one became extinct when its host was transferred to predator-free islands. Thirty-six earthworm species that were previously DataDeficientare now ranked NotThreatened, as are five Phthiraptera that were previously ranked either NationallyCriticalor NationallyEndangeredand one Phasmatodea that was previously ranked NationallyEndangered. |
