Modicarventus wisei is an endemic species of New Zealand flat bug, described by Kirman in 1989.[1] The specimens were first collected from Unuwhao on the North Cape in February 1967 by K.A.J. Wise, but not described as a new species until 1989.[2]
The species are of 2–3 mm in length, with a red-brown colouration.[3] The species appears to be related to Neocarventus angulatus due to both species sharing similar thorax characteristics.[3] Modicarventus wisei was named after New Zealand entomologist K.A.J. Wise.[3]
