| Abstract |
The scleractinian fauna of New Zealand is composed of 25 species in 16 genera. All species and genera are diagnosed here and an illustrated key to the fauna is presented. Three new species, belonging to the genera Madrepora, Flabellum, and Dendrophyllia, are described. Two species, Balanophyllia alta and Dendrophyllia boschmai, are synonymised under Dendrophyllia japonica. Depth ranges and distribution of the species are discussed and illustrated, and representative specimens figured. Two appendices list all known stations about New Zealand at which corals have been collected, with species identified from each, and give the geographic grouping of the stations. |
