ABSTRACT: New species of Acharax, Adipicola, Lyonsiella, Poromya, Antimargarita and Antarctodomus are described from off New Zealand. New records are given for Galeodea triganceae Dell, Volutomitra banksii Dell and V. (Latiromitra) problematica Ponder. The subspecies Penion benthicolus delli Powell can not be distinguished from Penion benthicolus Dell. Boreotrophon shirleyi Cernohorsky is transferred to the family Turbinellidae and placed in Metzgeria Norman. Two specied, Poromya undosa Hedley and Petterd (described from off New South Wales) and Claviscala kuroharai Habe (described from off Japan) are recorded from New Zealand. The supposed scaphopod, Dentalium tiwhana Dell is transferred to the Polychaeta.
