Key to New Zealand Species of Andaniotes

1. Maxilliped palp of 3 segments. 1st and 2nd segments being combined to form fusiform segment, much wider than the end two segments 1. simplex Barnard, 1930
Maxilliped palp not as above 1. corpulentus (G. M. Thomson), 1882

Andaniotes simplex Barnard, 1930.

  • Andaniotes simplex Barnard, 1930: 328–329. Fig. 7.

This species is recorded with A. corpulentus from “Terra Nova” Station 90, “off Three Kings Islands, 25.vin.11, 183 metres, bottom fauna”. I have no specimens, and there are none in the Chilton Collection.

Andaniotes corpulentus (G. M. Thomson), 1882.

  • Anonyx corpulentus G. M. Thomson, 1882: 231, Pl. 17 Fig. 1 a-f.

  • Andaniotes corpulentus Stebbing. 1897: 31. Pl. 8; 1906: 96; 1910: 575 Barnard, 1930: 328. Schellenberg, 1931: 51.

  • Andania [ unclear: ] Stebbing, 1888. 739–742, Pl. 37.

Strangely, this species is not included in the Chilton Collection, and I have no specimens of my own, so that I am unable to add any further information.
