Abstract |
Ischyromene kokotahi sp. nov., from the intertidal ‘mussel and barnacle zone’ of North Island, New
Zealand, is described and figured. It is the seventh species of Ischyromene recorded from New
Zealand. The species is characterized by the presence, in both sexes, of a conspicuous pair of
submedian longitudinal nodular carinae, this character distinguishing males of the species from all
other New Zealand species. Comparative figures are given for Ischyromene condita Hurley &
Jansen, 1977. A revised diagnosis to the genus is given. |
