| Abstract |
Six species, four being described as new, are recorded from 10 stations between 125 and 330 fm. A further species, Sclerocrangon richardsoni n.sp. is described from c. 550 fm in Cook Strait. The definition of the family Rhynchocinetidae is amended to include the Eugonatonotidae and Lipkius holthuisi n.gen., n.sp. The Australian Campylonotus rathbunae is recorded from New Zealand waters and shown to be a protandrous hermaphrodite. A key to the genus Campylonotus is given, based on a re-examination of types in the British Museum (N.H.). Notopandalus n.gen. is described for Pandalus magnoculus Bate, a widespread New Zealand shelf and archibenthal species recorded here for the first time since its description in 1888. P. magnoculus is not a protandrous hermaphrodite. Sclerocrangon knoxi n.sp., Pontophilus acutirostratus n.sp. and Prionocrangon curvicaulis n.sp. form an interesting and unique southern hemisphere assemblage of Crangonids. Details of rostral variation, colour pattern and distribution have been given where possjble. |
