Paratanaoidean tanaidaceans (Crustacea: Peracarida) from littoral and shallow sublittoral habitats in New Zealand, with descriptions of three new genera and seven new species

Publication
Three new genera and seven new species of paratanaoidean tanaidaceans are described from a variety of littoral and
shallow sublittoral habitats around New Zealand, from the Snares Islands to Northland. These include a new leptocheliid
genus,
Parakonarus
, closely allied to
Konarus
Bamber, and three paratanaids: two species of
Paratanais
Dana and a new
genus,
Atemtanais
, which appears to show char
acters intermediate between
Metatanais
Shiino and
Paratanais
. The
remaining three taxa belong either to the Tanaellidae (a new species of
Araphura
Bird & Holdich) or are of
incertae sedis
family status:
Kanikipa
n. gen.
and a new species of
Tanaopsis
G. O . S a r s .
This study has almost doubled the known, published records of shallow-water tanaidomorphan species in New
Zealand and all of the species are likely to be r
ecorded more widely than the records here imply
