| Abstract |
Twenty-five species of macrourid fishes are recorded from the New Zealand region. They are described and illustrated, and their distribution and relationships are discussed. A key to the fauna is given. Most species are referred to the genus Coelorhynchus, in which 3 of the 1O species described are new. New species are also erected in the genera Coryphaenoides, Gadomus, and Nezumia, and a new genus is erected for a species more or less intermediate between Abyssicola and Coelorhynchus. Other genera represented are Bathygadus, Cetonurus, Macrourus, and Trachyrhynchus; Cynomacrurus and Malacocephalus may also be present. The fauna is composed of endemic, southern circumpolar, and Indo-Pacific elements, with the last predominant. |
