| Abstract |
The distribution and taxonomy of aetideid calanoid copepods from the south-west Pacific in the vicinity of New Zealand (20-64°S, 146°E-164°W) is recorded. The material reported on comes from the collections of the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute, Auckland University Zoology Department, Victoria University Zoology Department and Otago University Zoology Department; also all previous records from the area are included in distribution maps. All genera in the Aetideidae are defined and a list of their species provided even though no examples of some have been recorded from the south-west Pacific. Species of the following genera are described and figured and their distributions mapped in the south-west Pacific: Aetideus, Aetideopsis, Bradyidius, Chiridius, Chirundina, Comantenna, Crassantenna, Euchirella, Gaetanus, Gaidius, Lutamator, Pseudeuchaeta, Pseudochirella, Pseudotharybis, Sursamucro, Undeuchaera, and Valdiviella. Twenty-two of the species are new records for the area. |
