描述采自新西兰北岛怀托摩地区的采蝇科（Opiliones：Neopilionidae：Enantiobuninae）两新种：Forsteropsalis bona sp. n.和F.黑粉菌属这两种都是在该地区的洞穴中收集的，在那里以前记录了一种或两种萤火虫（被误认为是“Megalopsalis tumida”）对发光蜘蛛的捕食。然而，两者都被认为是troglophiles，而不是严格的troglobites由于存在的标本以外的洞穴系统，并没有troglobites适应。Megalopsalis tumida（Forster，1944）是Forsteropsalis fabulosa（Phillips & Grimmett，1932）的次异名。
Abstract Two new species of harvestman (Opiliones: Neopilionidae: Enantiobuninae) are described from the Waitomo region of the North Island, New Zealand, Forsteropsalis bona sp. n. and F. photophaga sp. n. Both have been collected within caves in the region, where predation on glow-worms Arachnocampa luminosa has been previously recorded for one or both species (misidentified as ‘Megalopsalis tumida’). However, both are regarded as troglophiles rather than strict troglobites due to the presence of specimens outside the cave systems, and the absence of troglobitic adaptations. Megalopsalis tumida (Forster, 1944) is identified as a junior synonym of Forsteropsalis fabulosa (Phillipps & Grimmett, 1932).
