New Zealand is divided into 29 approximately equal‐sized arbitrary areas, and their boundaries are defined and mapped. A 2‐letter code is given for each area. The system is designed primarily for use on specimen labels of the New Zealand National Arthropod Collection, and introduces a more reliable basis for the sorting and documentation of specimens.
