Material.— 2 specimens NMNZ S.52725. Home Hills Station, Manuherikia River near St Bathans, Otago, HH4 bed, Bannockburn Formation , early Miocene .
Remarks.—These two otoliths from the highest stratigraphic interval sampled for the Bannockburn Formation at the Manuherikia River location, are characterized by a rounded triangular outline with a moderately long, sharp rostrum and an inferior posterior tip. The sulcus is positioned median on the inner face with a moderately long cauda terminating at some distance from the posterior rim of the otolith. These otoliths represent the only galaxiid otoliths at HH4, the highest sampled bed of the Bannockburn Formation at the Manuherikia River section, and likely represent yet a further undescribed species.
