| Abstract |
Nine species of Recent brachiopods, including two new, belonging to seven genera, i.e. Basiliola beecheri, Abyssothyris wyvillei, Dallithyris pacifica n. sp., Terebratulina japonica, Terebratulina reevei, Terebratulina australis n. sp., Fallax neocaledonensis, Frenulina sanguinolenta, Amphithyris buckmani, and one unidentified rhynchonellide have been recognised in the new material from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna Islands, collected during the French cruises MUSORSTOM 7, 10 and BORDAU 1. The species Amphithyris buckmani is reported for the first time outside its type locality in New Zealand waters. The brachiopods from Fiji, although less diversified, show affinities to the New Caledonia fauna, having five genera in common. |
