Abstract
The distribution and taxonomy of calanoid copepods (families Bathypontiidae, Arietellidae, Augaptilidae, Heterorhabdidae, Lucicutiidae, Metridiidae, Phyllopodidae, Centropagidae, Pseudodiaptomidae, Temoridae, Candaciidae, Pontellidae, Sulcanidae, Acartiidae, and Tortanidae from the Southwest Pacific in the vicinity of New Zealand (20-64° S, 146° E-164° W) is recorded. The material reported on comes from the collections of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Auckland University Zoology Department, Victoria University of Wellington Zoology Department, and Otago University Portobello Marine Laboratory; also previous records from the area are included. All genera in the families are defined and a list of their species provided even though no examples of some genera and families have been recorded from the Southwest Pacific. One hundred and fifty species of the following genera ,ire described and figured: Alloiopodus, Temorites, Arietellus, Campaneria, Metacalanus, Paraugaptiloides, Paraugaptilus, Scutogerulus, Augaptilus, Centraugaptilus, Euaugaptilus, Haloptilus, Pachyptilus, Disseta, Heterorhabdus, Heterostylites, Mesorhabdus, Lucicutia, Gaussia, Metridia, Pleuromamma, Phyllopus, Centropages, Gippslandia, Gladioferens, Isais, Parathalassius, Pseudodiaptomus, Temora, Temoropia, Candacia, Paracandacia, Calanopia, Labidocera, Pontella, Pontellina, Pontellopsis, Sulcanus, Acartia, Tortanus. New records for the area are : Temorites elongata, Euaugaptilus bullifer, E. humilis E. laticeps, E. longimanus, E. oblongus, E. palumbii, Haloptilus omatus, H. tenuis, Pachyptilus eurygnatus, Disseta pa!umbii; Heterorhabdus pacificus, H robustus, H subspinifrons, Mesorhabdus gracilis, Lucicutia bicornuta, L. curta, L. longiserrata, L. lucida, Gaussia princeps, Centropages elegans, Candacia maxima, C. norvegica, Labidocera detruncata and Pontellopsis grandis;_ Sulcanus conflictus is recorded from New Zealand waters for the first time. The genus Bathypontia is found to be a junior synonym of Temorites. Nevertheless the family name Bathypontiidae is preserved under Article 40(a) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Pontellopsis grandis (Lubbock, 1853) is reinstated for Southwest Pacific Pontellopsis related to P regalis (auth)
