It’s a Woodlouse Hunter in genus Dysdera. https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Dysdera The Dysdera species known to have been introduced to New Zealand is the same as we have in North America, Dysdera crocata. Your photo doesn’t quite look like it, though. The abdomen is hairy, the feet are different, the abdomen is shaped differently, and the fangs look different. It is possible that it is a different species or genus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpactea Harpactea is a genus of similar-looking Woodlouse Hunting Spiders. So, it’s a Woodlouse Hunting Spider in family Dysderidae, maybe someone else will try a more specific identification.
