Abstract

Six new or little-known genera of cheilostome Bryozoa are recorded from the New Zealand region. Villicharixa n. gen. (Electridae), established for a species from South Island and from southern Chile, closely resembles forms from the lower Cretaceous of Europe. Daisyella n. gen. (Calloporidae) includes three uniserial species (two New Zealand and one Antarctic). Rhabdozoum Hincks (Rhabdozoidae), a little-known southern Australian genus, is newly recorded from the Otago Shelf, South Island. Plagiopora MacGillivray (Catenicellidae), a hitherto monotypic? Miocene Australian genus of the little-known subfamily Ditaxiporinae, is represented in Recent seas by a new species from the Norfolk Ridge. Yrbozoon n. gen. (Celleporidae) and Harpago n. gen. (Lekythoporidae), both monotypic, are based on new species from submarine plateaux southeast of New Zealand.
