Abstract
A synopsis of the classification of the New Zealand Polyplacophora is presented. The name Lepidochitonidae is replaced by the earlier Callochitonidae, Plaxi‐phoridae by Mopaliidae, Aulacochitonidae by Schizochitonidae, and Cryptocon‐chidae by Acanthochitonidae. Vaferichiton Iredale and Hull is treated as a subgenus of Aerilamma Hull. Lorica H. and A. Adams is used instead of its junior synonym Aulacochiton Shuttleworth. Lorica haurakiensis Mestayer is recorded from the Nukumaruan (Lower Pleistocene). Paricoplax profundior Dell is placed in Loricella Pilsbry. Icoplax chathamensis Dell is made the type species of a new subgenus of Anthochiton Localities in southern New Zealand for Notoplax cuneata (Suter) and Lorica haurakiensis are listed.Keywords
