Distribution
[edit]Anoteropsis is known mainly from New Zealand including the Chatham Islands, Snares Islands and Auckland Islands.[1] New Zealand has 27 species of wolf spiders in 6 genera.[citation needed] The genus Anoteropsis dominates the country with 21 species alone. One species, Anoteropsis virgata, is native to Polynesia but is thought to be incorrectly placed in this genus.[1]
