Merhippolyte chacei Kensley, Griffin & Tranter, 1987 View in CoL
( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 )
Merhippolyte chacei Kensley, Griffin & Tranter, 1987: 309–312 View in CoL , figs. 18, 19 [type locality: E. of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 686 m]. — Poore et al. 2008: 84.
Material examined. Bay of Plenty: NIWA 13674 View Materials , 1 female (cl 8.2 mm), Tumokemoke Seamount, 37°27.95– 27.97’S, 176°57.28–57.05’E, 474– 435 m, TAN0413/168, 15.XI.2004 .
Challenger Plateau: NIWA 33172 View Materials , 3 View Materials ov. females (cl 8.4–9.5 mm), 38°12.45’S, 168°35.10’E, 512–526 m, TAN0707/84, 3. GoogleMaps VI.2007; NIWA 42683 View Materials , 1 View Materials ov. female (cl 9.3 mm), 39°32.61’S, 169°42.87’E, 636– 634 m, TAN0707/93, 4. GoogleMaps VI.2007.
Remarks. The specimens agree well with the type description and extend the known range of the species from southern Australia to the Challenger Plateau, New Zealand. The rostral spination of the New Zealand specimens (5 or 6 dorsal of which 2 are postorbital; 7 ventral) resembles that of Australian material (4 or 5 dorsal of which 2 are postorbital; 7 ventral) ( Kensley et al. 1987).
Distribution. Southern Australia (New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia) and now from the Challenger Plateau and Bay of Plenty, New Zealand; 435–1000 m.
