An Index of the Rotatoria of New Zealand and Outlying Islands from 1859 to 1959 By C R Russell [Received by Editor, February 3, 1960] Abstract The Index lists in alphabetical order of genera and species the rotifers that have been found in New Zealand and outlying islands from 1859 to 1959. When necessary the generic and specific names employed in previous papers of the Rotatoria of New Zealand have been revised in accordance with recent systematic changes. Introduction The records of the New Zealand Rotatoria are scattered through New Zealand and overseas journals, and although Morris (1913) and Russell (1945) have published revised lists embracing the work of previous authors they have become out of date due to the changes that have taken place in the systematics and nomenclature of the Rotatoria. Since 1945 many additions have been made to the list of New Zealand rotifers, and generally a complete revision has become necessary. In view of requests from overseas workers for lists of New Zealand rotifers, and for ease of reference, an Index appeared to be the preferable form of list. A systematic paper would have merely duplicated much of the information contained in such works as Harring (1913) and Voigt (1957). Part I of this paper contains, so far as may be ascertained from the Zoological Records, all papers and works relating to the New Zealand Rotatoria. The Index which forms Part II of this paper is arranged in alphabetical order of genera and species; and references to the publications of Part I are by author, the marginal number of the paper, and page. The approximate location where specimens were collected is also given. Synonyms are given only when authors have described animals under synonymous names. References to the literature in the case of authority citations have been omitted, as these are contained in the literature of Part I which, since 1945, includes ecological and morphological details of the rotifers listed. The limnologist or other user of this Index will generally be more interested in the name of an animal, and the location where it was found, than in the source of its name; but from the references in Part I, and recourse to Voigt (1957), and Harring (1913), almost any specific name may be traced through the voluminous literature of the Rotatoria. Both of the above works are in the Library of the University of Canterbury, and probably in other centres. Part III of this paper lists specific names employed by authors which have been omitted from the Index as they are no longer valid, and the animals unrecognizable. I have to thank Dr. J. T. Salmon, of the Department of Zoology, Victoria University of Wellington, for his valuable advice on the compilation of this paper. I would also thank Mr. Gregory W. Russell, of Christchurch, for his assistance in checking the entries and references.

The Extent of our Knowledge of the Rotifer Fauna of New Zealand At the present time approximately one-eighth of the known rotifer species have been found in New Zealand. Rotifers are potentially cosmopolitan, and with our wide variety of habitats and ecological conditions it is certain that many more species will ultimately be found. It is considered that only in the case of the lakes of the South Island has the rotifer fauna been moderately well established; but as the life cycle of many ploimate rotifers is influenced by the temperature and hydrogen-ion content of the water it would require systematic collections in any habitat over at least one year to accurately determine what species it contains. The Southern Lakes have been sampled over a wide range of ecological conditions, but not through the winter months. However, collections were made weekly from one small tarn over a period of two years, and it was found that with temperatures below 15 degrees centigrade the rotifer populations were small with very few species. Isolated collections from the Rotorua thermal district indicate that this area contains a very wide range of species, including planktonic forms. The results would justify an intensive examination of the lakes, pools, and swamps throughout the thermal district. In general, oligotrophic lakes have been found to have small rotifer populations, mostly limnetic forms; but eutrophic lakes have large populations with littoral, limnetic, and often planktonic species. Many swamps are available but few have been sampled. Collections made from swamps having a low pH indicate that many species are to be found with small populations, and the reverse is true when the water has a high pH. Bdelloidal rotifers from terrestrial and emergent habitats have not been studied since 1909 when Murray (1911 and 1913) made his extensive collections. Recently however, Mr. S. B. Haigh, of Henderson, commenced an investigation of these animals in the Auckland and National Park areas. Aquatic bdelloids are found in many preserved samples, but always in a contracted condition when they are worthless for study. Sessile, psammolittoral, and marine rotifers have been found in New Zealand, but they have not received much attention. Marine rotifers of the genus Synchaeta generally appear in the coastal waters of the South Island during September each year. Some recent collections amongst aquatic vegetation on the edges of rivers show that a definite lotic rotifer fauna exists in such habitats if the velocity of the stream is not too great, and the water unpolluted. It is suggested that rotifer eggs may be transported to our shores by birds or winds as three species thought to be endemic to Australia have been found on the West Coast of the South Island. Russell (1954), and an unpublished paper. It must be concluded that our knowledge of the Rotatoria of New Zealand is comparatively small, and will have to be extended before ecological and other problems associated with the phylum can be undertaken. A wider range of collections will have to be made, and more workers are required in this field. Part I—List of Papers Containing References To The New Zealand Rotatoria 1. Brehm. V., 1928.

Part III When all the records of the New Zealand Rotatoria had been checked it was found that some of the specific names employed by authors could not be correlated with any known animal. Most of the names were found to be nomina dubia, and

others were the result of incorrect identifications or of typographical errors. These names have been omitted from the Index but are contained in the list which follows, together with references to the papers in which they appear; and either a reference to the authority for their rejection, or the reason for their exclusion.
