Abstract
Summary The Tertiary and Recent species of the genus Philine in New Zealand are reviewed. Two new species are described, one from both the Recent fauna and Pleistocene (Castlecliffian) deposits, the other only from the Castlecliffian. The other species recorded from New Zealand are redescribed and photographs of the type specimens are included. Suter’s type material of Philine auriformis contains three different species, two of the genus Philine and one of Aglaja.
