Material examined. Mahina Knoll: NIWA 6760 View Materials , 2 males (cl 6.7–7.8 mm), 2 females (cl 6.9–7.1 mm; larger ovigerous), 37°21.34–21.29’S, 177°05.98–06.22’E, 260–280 m, TAN0413/130, 14 Nov 2004 .

Remarks. Takeda & Webber (2006) recently reported M. haswelli from the Kermadec Islands at depths of 135– 201 m. As reported by McNeill (1953), the granulation on the outer surface of the palms is more rugose in the females than in males. The present specimens, the first from off mainland New Zealand, were collected together with Pycnoplax meridionalis ( Rathbun, 1923) , and Mathildella mclayi sp. nov.

Distribution. Northeastern Indian Ocean, Christmas Island, Philippines, Japan, New Caledonia, southeastern Australia, the Kermadec Islands, Norfolk Ridge and now from off mainland New Zealand; 80– 527 m.
