Astrothrombus rugosus(Clark), hitherto known only from eastern Australia, is recorded here from off Kaikoura.Hemilepis abernethyi(Fell) andOphioceres marginata(Fell) are here regarded as junior subjective synonyms ofHemilepis norae(Benham) andOphioceres huttoni(Farquhar) respectively. Some New Zealand specimens of the cosmopolitan speciesOphiuroglypha irrorata(Lyman) differ in some respects from the “typical” form; they may prove to represent a new species.
