Abstract
Recent cruises to the Chatham Rise and to the Challenger Plateau have provided new material of 3 spp. of xenophyophores: Reticulammina labyrinthica Tendal 1972, Syringammina fragillissima Brady 1883, and S. tasmanensis Lewis 1966. These records confirm the occurrence of S. fragillissima in New Zealand waters, indicate a wide distribution of S. tasmanensis, and amend the knowledge of species variation and depth range of the New Zealand xenophyophores.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
