Abstract For the New Zealand mainland, 29 previously
published two-letter codes defining collection areas are reviewed, with their
boundary definitions. An additional eight area codes are here defined for the
outer islands of the New Zealand subregion: Kermadec Islands (KE), Three Kings
Islands (TH), Chatham Islands (CH), The Snares Islands (SN), Auckland Islands
(AU), Campbell Island (CA), Antipodes Islands (AN), and Bounty Islands (BO).
More general area codes are added for the North Island (NO), South Island (SO),
New Zealand (NZ), and the Ross Dependency (RO) in Antarctica. The main purpose
of the codes is to facilitate retrieval and documentation of specimens.
