Abstract

One new genus and five new species of the family Phoxocephalidae G. O. Sars, 1891 are described from material collected in waters off Aotearoa New Zealand. Within the subfamily Harpiniinae Barnard & Drummond, 1978, Palabriaphoxus lowryi sp. nov. and P. barnardi sp. nov. share morphological affinities, including the narrow basis of pereopod 5 and powerful pereopod 6 with P. palabria (J. L. Barnard, 1961), which is herein redescribed. Within the Phoxocephalinae, a new species, Protophoxus munida sp. nov. is described and the type species of the genus, Protophoxus australis (K. H. Barnard, 1930), is redescribed based on material collected from the Otago shelf. Additionally, Zeaphoxus gen. nov. is erected for two new species, Z. senecio sp. nov. and Z. zealandicus sp. nov., collected from the Tasman Sea, Otago Shelf, and The Snares.
