| Abstract |
The distribution and taxonomy of calanoid copepods of the families Euchaetidae, Phaennidae, Scolecithricidae, Diaixidae, and Tharybidae from the south-west Pacific in the vicinity of New Zealand (20-64°S, 164°E-164°W) is recorded. All genera in these families are defined and a list of their species provided even though some genera have not been recorded from the south-west Pacific. The definition of the genus Euchaeta is here restricted and encompasses the following species: E. indica, E. marina, E. marinella and E. rimana. The genus name Paraeuchaeta is applied to the remaining species of Euchaetidae. Species of the following genera are described and figured and their distributions mapped in the southwest Pacific: Euchaeta, Paraeuchaeta, Comucalanus, Onchocalanus, Phaenna, Xanthocalanus, Amallothrix, Lophothrix, Racovitzanus, Scaphocalanus, Scolecithricella, Scolecithrix, Scopalatum, Scottocalanus, Neoscolecithrix, Parundinella, and Undinella. Eighteen of the species are new records for the area. |
