| Abstract |
Bryozoans from the western South Island continental shelf and slope, from the intertidal to abyssal depths, have been studied. Thirteen species of Ctenostomata are described, of which four are new; 132 species of Cheilostomata Anasca are described, of which 28 are new. The new species are distributed among the genera Triticella, Arachnoidella, Alcyonidium, Bockiella, Kenella, Concertina n.gen., Amphiblestrum, Antropora, Aplousina, Crassimarginatella, Chaperia, Chaperiopsis, Cornucopina, Himantozoum, Beania, Amastigia, Caberea, Menipea, Semibugula, Mallia, Cellaria, Euginoma, and Melicerita. There are two new genera: Concertina (Flustridae) and Penemia (Cabereidae). An examination of the type-species of the British Eocene genus Akatopora Davis has led to the recognition of this genus in Recent seas and Aplousina(?) circumsaepta Uttley and related species are herein ascribed to it. Figularia spinea Brown and related figulariae with oral spines and lacking lumen pores in the spines are considered to belong to Crassimarginatella subgenus Valdemunitella. Bugula prismatica (Gray, 1843) is redescribed. |
