Author: Hutton, 1872
Remark: Since the type apparently no longer exist and as neither New Zealand <i>Kathetostoma</i> species has been adequately documented in fully freshwater condition, questions remain re the true identity of this species.  Thus, this species is therefore regarded as <i>nomen dubium</i> (Ref. 86516).
Comments: The type specimen was collected from the Manawatu River (Ref. 26272).
