CHLOROTOCUS NOVAEZEALANDIAE View in CoL

( BORRADAILE, 1916)

Type locality: South Pacific Ocean , New Zealand, North Island, 7 miles east of North Cape ; 128 m.

Known range: New Zealand, eastern Australia ( Poore, 2004).

Occurrence at vents or seeps: possibly at or near a hydrothermal site off Whale Island, New Zealand (see below).

Remarks: This species is only questionably included by us. Russian divers collected specimens of the species off Whale Island, New Zealand, but it is unclear as to whether they were near the active vent areas known in that region (see Clark & O’Shea, 2001, and also under Ocypodidae , Macrophthalmus hirtipes ). R. Webber (pers. comm.) tells us that the species is otherwise distributed along the northern and central New Zealand shelf and the upper continental slope on both coasts of South Island ( NZ) as well as off eastern Australia, but there are apparently no data that would confirm its presence at hot vents.
