Fifteen new genera of cheilostome Bryozoa are described from the New Zealand biogeographical region, centred on Zealandia, between 29° and 59°S latitude from shallow coastal waters to abyssal depths. The new genera are:Cavelliella,Mangana,Recapitulator(Calloporidae),Microblestrum,Stolomicropora(Pyrisinellidae),Otomicropora,Rosemariella(Microporidae),Bioptica,Caesiopora(Romancheinidae),Cheilonellopsis(Lacernidae),Xenogma(Buffonellodidae),Bountyella(incertae sedis),Taylorius(Escharinidae),Fovoporella(Schizoporellidae) andRamicellepora(Celleporidae). Several new combinations are also recognized, i.e.Corbulella fossa,Fovoporella spectabilis,Kenaplousina canariensis,Taylorius incognitus,Taylorius masoni,Taylorius waiparaensisandXenogma rhomboidale. Ten of the new genera are nominally endemic to the New Zealand exclusive economic zone.RecapitulatorandMicroblestrum(on seamounts near the southern part of the Hjort Trench) andRosemariella(seamount in the Louisville Ridge) occur in extraterritorial waters,Xenogmaextends to Australia andTayloriusextends to South Africa.Tayloriusis also known from the Miocene andFovoporellafrom the Pliocene.RecapitulatorandManganahave plesiomorphies that are novel among Recent Calloporidae (respectively a costate ooecium and ‘pelmatoporine’ elongate adventitious interzooidal kenozooids) but which are found in some Cretaceous calloporids or cribrilinids.

Abstract Thirteen new genera and three new families of cheilostome Bryozoa are described from the New Zealand biogeographic region, centred on Zealandia, between 26.42° (northern Norfolk Ridge) and 54.02°S latitude (south-east Campbell Plateau) from coastal waters to bathyal depths (46‒1676 m). The new genera, comprising 15 new and one previously described Zealandian species, are: Elementella (Elementellidae n. fam.), Niwapora, Quasicallopora, Quitocallopora, Judyella (Calloporidae), Ellisantropora (Antroporidae), Rhizellisina (Ellisinidae), Radixenia (Calloporoidea incertae sedis), Granomurus (Granomuridae n. fam.), Carolanna (Bugulidae), Borioplebs (Borioplebidae n. fam.), Seabournea (Cribrilinidae) and Waeschenbachia (Romancheinidae). A new Recent species of the otherwise Eocene‒Miocene genus Vincularia is also described from deep water on the Three Kings Ridge. Two new combinations are created – Judyella precocialis (Gordon, 1984) and Ellisantropora aggregata (Gordon, 1984). Ellisantropora tilbrooki sp. nov. is also introduced for a species from Torres Strait. Four of the deep-sea genera (three from one station on the northern Norfolk Ridge, one from a station on the Three Kings Ridge) have species with plesiomorphies or distinctive skeletal characters that suggest they are relict. Almost half of the new species form spot-like colonies on hard substrata.

Coleoptera Tenebrionidae

The tribe Heleini is redefined to exclude the genera Lepispilus Westwood, 1841, and Leaus Matthews & Lawrence, 1992, which become incertae sedis within the subfamily Tenebrioninae . Four generic names are synonymised as follows: Barytipha Pascoe, 1869, and Pezohelaeus Gebien, 1920, with Pterohelaeus Brême, 1842; Euhelaeus Gebien, 1920, with Emcephalus Kirby, 1828; and Saragella Carter, 1937, with Dysarchus Pascoe, 1866. The genus Saragus Erichson, 1842, is resurrected as separate from Celibe Boisduval, 1835, with which it had been confused, and two new genera (Boreosaragus and Cillibus) are proposed for other species formerly in Celibe, bringing the total to 14 genera in the tribe, which is distributed in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and Seram. A tentative phylogeny is proposed for the genera, the constituent species are either mentioned or reference is made to a former checklist, and the Australian distribution of all but two genera is plotted. Hypotheses are put forward on evolutionary trends and the past history of the tribe. The 27 new combinations proposed are listed in Appendices I and II at the end of the paper.

A new species of clingfish, Dellichthystrnskii sp. n. is described on the basis of 27 specimens, 11.9–46.0 mm SL, collected from intertidal and shallow coastal waters of New Zealand. It is distinguished from its only congener, D.morelandi Briggs, 1955 by characters of the cephalic sensory system and oral jaws, snout shape, and colouration in life. A rediagnosis is provided for D.morelandi, which is shown to exhibit sexual dimorphism in snout shape.

A review of all snailfishes from New Zealand waters deposited in the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Ton-garewa showed that six genera and at least 18 species occur within the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. Of these,one genus and 16 species are new. These new taxa, described here, are Aetheliparis taurocanis n.g., n.sp. from near Moa Seamount at 731–869 m, Careproctus narilobus from the Chatham Plateau at about 1830 m, C. pellucicauda andParaliparis pseudokreffti from the Bounty Trough at 2786–2821 m, P. exilis from the southeast Chatham slope, P. free-borni and P. pearcyi from the northeast Chatham Rise at 1044–1050 and 1218 m respectively, Osteodiscus rhepostomiasfrom the Bounty Trough at 2786–2821 m, Psednos argyrogaster from the east Chatham Rise at 1015–1037 m, P. chathamifrom the Chatham Rise at 1335–1340 m, P. cryptocaeca from off the Otago Canyons at 118–121 m, P. longiventris fromthe Chatham Rise at 1054–1058 m, P. microstomus from Reinga Ridge at 1158–1230 m, P. nemnezi from the Pegasus Can-yon and south Chatham Rise at 862–960 m, P. platyoperculosus from Chatham Rise at 1141–1163 m, and P. struthersifrom the southern Havre Trough at 1411–1428 m. The two previously known species from New Zealand waters are Care-proctus novaezelandiae Andriashev and Notoliparis kermadecensis (Nielsen). In addition, several specimens of Parali-paris and Psednos could not be identified or described because of their poor condition, but do not seem to be the same asany of the 18 described species. Partial descriptions are provided for them. This paper describes the new taxa, reviews the known taxa, and provides keys to their identification.

Marine Worms

Fourteen species of the unsegmented marine worms known as Sipuncula are reported from sublittoral waters from recent collections of 519 specimens around New Zealand. Five are new to the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). A taxonomic key to all 26 known New Zealand species is provided. All six families and nine of the 17 genera of Sipuncula are represented.
