| Abstract | Verrucomorpha from deep sea collections made by several French cruises in New Caledonian area (including Chesterfield and Loyalty Islands), Wallis Island and Futuna Island waters, and by the French-Indonesian cruise KARUBAR in Indonesian waters, over the period 1985-1993, are discussed. The fauna includes 16 species, seven of which are new; the bathymetric and geographic ranges of many other taxa are extended, making this one of the most diverse verrucomorph faunas known. The status of species within both Altiverruca and Melaverruca is considered, with six names being synonymised with Melaverruca recta (Aurivillius), and a key to genera of the Verrucidae is given. The distribution of the Verrucidae in the region is discussed, with Melaverruca recta being confirmed as the species with the greatest geographic, bathymetric and stratigraphic distribution of any verrucid. |
