Taxonomy
editZelostemma was first described by Czech entomologist Lubomír Masner and Swedish entomologist Lars Huggert in 1989, with the prefix Zelo- referring to the genus' origin of New Zealand.[3] The genus was originally a monotypic genus, with the sole member being Zelostemma oleariae, originally described as Eurytoma oleariae by William Miles Maskell in 1888 (later known as Metaclisis oleariae).[3]
Peter Neerup Buhl identified a new species in 2008, Z. chionochloae,[4] two new species in 2011 with Z. altipetiolata, and Z. dromedarium,[5] followed by the addition of 30 new species in 2017.[6]
