| Abstract |
A total of 105 species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are reported from the New Zealand region, defined as 24° to 57°30'S and 157°E to 167°W. Three new genera (Pedicellocyathus, Temnotrochus, Falcatoftabellum), 21 new species, and one new subspecies are described, and 71 new records for this region are reported. This revision is based on an examination of previously unexamined corals from approximately 804 stations, derived primarily from the collections of the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute and the Museum of New Zealand. |
