AB  - Three new genera and seven new species of paratanaoidean tanaidaceans are described from a variety of littoral and
shallow sublittoral habitats around New Zealand, from the Snares Islands to Northland. These include a new leptocheliid
genus,
Parakonarus
, closely allied to
Konarus
Bamber, and three paratanaids: two species of
Paratanais
Dana and a new
genus,
Atemtanais
, which appears to show char
acters intermediate between
Metatanais
Shiino and
Paratanais
. The
remaining three taxa belong either to the Tanaellidae (a new species of
Araphura
Bird & Holdich) or are of
incertae sedis
family status:
Kanikipa
n. gen.
and a new species of
Tanaopsis
G. O . S a r s .
This study has almost doubled the known, published records of shallow-water tanaidomorphan species in New
Zealand and all of the species are likely to be r
ecorded more widely than the records here imply
