Zugmayerella taringaturaensis Campbell sp. nov. (Laballidae, Brachiopoda) is locally abundant in a Monotis shellbed within Murihiku Supergroup clastic sediments of the Taringatura Hills, central Southland, New Zealand. It is found in both older and younger horizons within the Late Triassic. It occurs in New Caledonia, and there is striking morphological similarity to Zugmayerella sp. recorded from central Chile, and a closely related form occurs in north Peru. Through these latter, the New Zealand Late Triassic brachiopod fauna has links with that of western North America.
