Abstract
Eight species of Recent Braohiopoda dredged from the fiords of south-western New Zealand in 1946 included first records for Fiordlarrd of Crania, Amphithyris, and Liothyrella. Amphithyris richardsonae n.sp. is described from a live-collected individual from 74 m, Long Sound, Preservation Inlet; it differs from A. buckmani Thomson and A. hallettensis Foster in shape, attachment, and details of ornament. Ventml valves fTom 101 m, Dagg Sound, characterised by coarse punctation and an ornament of hollow spines are treated as Platidiidae genus and species indeterminate.Keywords
