DESCRIPTION Shell very small (maximum observed length is 3.7 mm), variable in outline from subtriangular to elongate oval, very thin and translucent. Surface iridescent, smooth, apart from very fine, widely spaced) mm (Width Length (mm) capillae better visible on the anterior half (Fig. 3 J); growth lines numerous. The secondary layer fibres are readily visible on the surface and form a mosaic. Shell very weakly biconvex. Anterior commissure rectimarginate. Beak high and pointed with sharp beak ridges. Foramen large, triangular, hypothyrid, bordered by two narrow, elevated deltidial plates. Ventral valve interior with short teeth supported by distinct divergent dental plates (Fig. 3 N). Dorsal valve interior with very high but short median septum, small cardinal process in form of depression, and slender crura of maniculiform type (Fig. 3 K, L). REMARKS Cryptopora maldivensis is one of the commonest species (about 115 specimens) in the investigated material. The studied specimens are consistent with the description given by Muir-Wood (1959), differing only in smaller size; the type material reaches about 5 mm. In outline and type of the deltidial plates C. maldivensis is similar to C. gnomon but it differs in being less convex and rectimarginate, while C. gnomon is sulcate (Cooper 1959). The shell of C. gnomon also lacks capillae. This is the first record of Cryptopora from Fiji, and Wallis and Futuna islands although this genus was identified in the Pliocene deposits of Fiji (Cooper 1978). Cryptopora maldivensis was not found on the Lau Ridge.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

03D087AEFFABFF8CFCC1FCF2706CF9E9.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Basiliola beecheri was already recorded from the Fiji region, but was represented by only two specimens and internal structures were not investigated (Bitner 2006 b). This medium-sized, strongly dorsibiconvex species has corrugated teeth supported by dental plates close to the valve wall. Its inner socket ridges are long. No cardinal process is present. The outer hinge plates are broad, and crura are of subfalciform type (Fig. 5 K, L). The muscle scars are distinct. Basiliola beecheri can easily be distinguished from B. lucida by its larger size and much broader hinge plates.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

03D087AEFFA9FF8FFF74FDF776ACFC67.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Abyssothyris wyvillei was reported from the Fiji Islands by Bitner (2006 b). This small, smooth species is characterized by its deeply unisulcate anterior commissure, and cardinalia with a distinct half-elliptical cardinal process, long inner socket ridges and well-developed fulcral plates. The outer hinge plates are triangular and moderately wide. The loop is very short, rounded Station No. Length Width Thickness Figure CP 1361 9.7 10.5 6.1 Fig. 6 I-L CP 1361 9.8 9.8 5.8 – CP 1409 9.3 9.7 6.3 – anteriorly with a transverse band weakly medially folded (Fig. 6 L). The crural processes are short and bluntly pointed. The specimens from Fiji are most similar to those from the New Caledonia region (Laurin 1997). They differ from other specimens hitherto described in having smaller foramen (Cooper 1982, 1983; Foster 1989). Externally A. wyvillei is very similar to another species, Nipponithyris lauensis n. sp., but these species can be easily distinguished by their internal structures. The specimens from the Miocene of Fiji described by Cooper (1978) as Abyssothyris briggsi are close in size and outline to A. wyvillei but they differ from the recent species in the much narrower loop.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

DESCRIPTION Shell small (maximum observed length is 9.4 mm), rounded in outline and strongly biconvex. Shell surface smooth with numerous indistinct growth lines. Lateral commissure is slightly ventrally curved; anterior commissure rectimarginate. Beak suberect with a small mesothyrid foramen. Symphytium small and wholly visible. Pedicle collar short. Teeth wide, short. Inner socket ridges erect. Cardinal process broad, transversely semi-elliptical. Outer hinge plates rudimentary to absent. The crural processes are short, bluntly pointed and run upward, nearly parallel to each other. Loop very short; transverse band anteriorly convex, rounded with a weak median fold. Muscle scars well visible. REMARKS The investigated specimens display all the characters, such as small size, smooth surface, short loop with transverse band anteriorly convex, typical of the genus Xenobrochus (Cooper 1981). Until now seven species have been assigned to this genus (Cooper 1981, 1983; Hiller 1986, 1994 a, b), and specimens from Fiji differ from all of them in rounded outline and much smaller foramen. From X. africanus (Cooper, 1973), X. australis Cooper, 1981 and X. naudei Hiller, 1994, X. rotundus n. sp. differs in having rounded transverse band with a slight median fold; the first three species have angular transverse band. In X. translucidus (Dall, 1920), X. agulhasensis (Helmcke, 1938), X. africanus and X. naudei outer hinge plates, although narrow, are distinct (Cooper 1973 b; Hiller 1986, 1994 a), while in the studied specimens outer hinge plates are rudimentary to absent. Xenobrochus indianensis (Cooper, 1973), having similar loop with a median fold and rudimentary outer hinge plates, has a more incurved beak with partly concealed symphytium. In the specimens from Fiji the symphytium is wholly visible. In turn, X. anomalus Cooper, 1981 from the waters around Marion Island is characterized by the extravagantly developed tubular pedicle collar (Cooper 1981; Hiller 1994 b), a feature not observed in the specimens described here.

03D087AEFFAFFF8BFD21FD51707FFBEB.taxon	description	In her recent paper Zezina (2005) synonymised three genera: Dallithyris, Stenosarina Cooper, 1977 and Dolichozygus Cooper, 1983. However, in the opinion of the present author those genera display sufficient differences to be separated. Both Dallithyris and Stenosarina have similar loops with a broad transverse band which possesses a strong median fold, but the loop in Stenosarina is much narrower than that in Dallithyris (see Bitner 2006 b: fig. 2 j, k). The crural bases in Dallithyris are poorly defined, while those in Stenosarina are elevated along the inner margins of the outer hinge plates. In turn, the transverse band in Dolichozygus lacks that sharply arched fold present in both former genera. Thus, in the present paper Dallithyris is still considered as a separate genus, as in the new edition of the Treatise (see Lee & Smirnova 2006).

03D087AEFFADFF8AFF79FB4E7001FB65.taxon	discussion	REMARKS This species was already recorded from the Fiji region (Bitner 2006 b). It is very rare in the investigated material. Terebratulina australis can be easily distinguished from any other Terebratulina species by its rounded outline, short hinge margin and a very small foramen. The shell surface is covered with numerous distinct ribs that increase mostly by bifurcation. The posterior part of the shell is thickened with well-visible muscle scars. The dorsal valve interior with high, narrow inner socket ridges, short crura and a broad ring sharply arched (see Bitner 2006 b: fig. 5 i, j).	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

03D087AEFFACFF97FD01FA8E707CFC81.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The investigated specimens are consistent in size, strong ornamentation and beak characters with Eucalathis rugosa. They differ, however, in having short intercalated ribs and broader descending branches. In the strong costation E. rugosa is similar to E. rotundata Cooper, 1981, differing, however, in outline and beak characters. In the Pacific Ocean this species was already recorded from Philippines and New Caledonia (Cooper 1973 a; d’Hondt 1987; Laurin 1997). Zezina (1987) mentioned the presence of E. rugosa in the Mozambique Channel, Indian Ocean. The occurrence of this species in the region of the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna Islands extends its geographic range farther to the east. The genus Eucalathis is well-known in the southwestern Pacific (Cooper 1973 a; Dawson 1991; Laurin 1997; Bitner 2006 a) but this is its first record from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna regions.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

03D087AEFFB4FF9CFF22F9A971BEFB06.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The genus Leptothyrella was originally described from the Indian Ocean by Muir-Wood (1959); however the re-examination of the type material has shown that her Length (mm) description contains several errors (D. MacKinnon, pers. comm.). Dental plates, not seen by Muir-Wood (1959) are present in the type material. Muir-Wood (1959) also misidentified the lophophore of Leptothyrella as spirolophous when it is zygolophous. In 1981 Zezina created a new genus Phaneropora, with type species P. galatheae Zezina, 1981 from the SW Pacific (Fig. 15), because based on Muir-Wood’s (1959) original description she recognized that Leptothyrella and Phaneropora are distinct genera. The characters distinguishing Phaneropora from Leptothyrella, according to Zezina (1981), were the presence of dental plates and zygolophous lophophore. However, she also included into Phaneropora the species from the Atlantic described by Davidson (1880), Magasella incerta which resembles P. galatheae (see Zezina 1981: 18) but differs in the loop development. The loop of P. galatheae possesses a gap between the crura and the septal pillar (see Fig. 15 C-E); at the distal extremity of each of the crura there is a prominent flattened area that is the rudiment of a descending branch (Fig. 15 F). In turn, the species from the Atlantic has continuous, from crura to the septum, descending branches (Davidson 1887; Logan 1983, 1998; Gaspard 2003; Álvarez & Emig 2005). In the revised edition of the Treatise, MacKinnon & Lee (2006 a: 2227) transferred Phaneropora incerta into Leptothyrella, making the absence or presence of descending branches the main criterion to separate the genera Leptothyrella and Phaneropora. In other characters those two taxa are very similar and there is still uncertainty about their status, and only a study of their genetic relationship would help in resolving this problem. Until now only two species of Leptothyrella have been recognized: L. ignota (Muir-Wood, 1959) from the western Indian Ocean and L. incerta (Davidson, 1880) from the Atlantic. The newly described species, L. fijiensis n. sp. is the third one known. It differs from the type species, L. ignota in slightly smaller size, more rounded outline and distinctly tuberculate beak ridges. Its valves are equally convex, while in L. ignota the convexity of the ventral valve is slightly greater than that of the dorsal valve (Muir-Wood 1959). The Atlantic L. incerta differs from L. fijiensis n. sp. in lacking tubercles along the sides of the beak and in having strong dental plates (Davidson 1887; Logan 1983, 1998; Gaspard 2003; Álvarez & Emig 2005). Also its crura are more massive than those in the Fiji specimens. The bathymetric range of L. fijiensis n. sp. is from 144 to 963 m. The species L. incerta and L. ignota have much wider depth range, 312 - 5300 m (Logan 1983, 1988, 1998; Zezina 2000; Gaspard 2003; Álvarez & Emig 2005) and 850 - 2881 m (Muir- Wood 1959; Hiller 1986), respectively. The depth of the related species P. galatheae is also very wide, from 225 to 3493 m (Zezina 1981, 1987; Foster 1989; Laurin 1997).	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

Teeth short but strong with swollen bases, below which there are excavated grooves for the reception of the inner socket ridges that are narrow but massive. In the dorsal valve the dental sockets are very deep. Cardinal process semi-elliptical, prominent. Hinge plates are overgrown with secondary thickening (Fig. 17 H). Crura absent; crural processes long, needle-like and curved inward (see Fig. 17 H, I). Median septum highest at the point of the union with lateral connecting bands and extending anteriorly as a low ridge. Loop trabecular; descending branches long and slender, attached to the septum by the connecting bands (Fig. 17 I); ascending branches and a transverse band broad. Muscle scars deeply impressed in both valves.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

03D087AEFFB8FF9BFCDDFA697007FEDE.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The genus Nipponithyris is characterized by its rounded pentagonal outline and smooth, sulcate shell which is strongly thickened posteriorly (Yabe & Hatai 1934 a; Hatai 1940; Cooper 1973 b; Laurin 1997). The studied specimens display all those characters, thus indicating their attribution to Nipponithyris but they differ from N. nipponensis Yabe & Hatai, 1934 and N. afra Cooper, 1973 in the absence of crura (see Hatai 1940; Cooper 1973 b; Laurin 1997). None of the investigated specimens shows any sign of the development of the crura but their crural processes are long and needle-like, contrary to the short and bluntly pointed crural processes in N. nipponensis and N. afra (Cooper 1973 b). Externally, in size and strong sulcation, N. lauensis n. sp. is close to N. afra, known from the Indian Ocean (Cooper 1973 b; Hiller 1996) and the Loyalty Islands, SW Pacific (Laurin 1997). Nipponithyris lauensis n. sp. displays also, both externally and internally, a great similarity to the species from off Vietnam, Holobrachia vietnamica described by Zezina (2001). Both those species are characterized by the absence of crura. Holobrachia vietnamica possesses, however, dental plates which differentiate this species from the Fiji material and any Nipponithyris species. The specimens under study are also similar to N. fijiensis (Elliott, 1961) from the Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene deposits of Fiji (Cooper 1978). This latter species was originally described from the Neogene of Fiji by Elliott (1961) under the name Abyssothyris fijiensis. However, examination of the internal structure (Cooper 1978) revealed that it possesses a median septum that eliminates it from assignment to Abyssothyris. Although indicating similarity to Nipponithyris, Cooper (1978) created for this material a new genus: Dicrosia. In the revised edition of the Treatise, Dicrosia is treated as a synonym of Nipponithyris (MacKinnon & Lee 2006 b).	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

DEPTH RANGE. — 190 - 410 m. MEASUREMENTS. — See Table 18. DESCRIPTION Shell small, oval in outline, densely punctate, subtransparent and strongly biconvex. Shell surface smooth with indistinct growth lines. Lateral commissures straight; anterior commisure rectimarginate. Beak suberect; no beak ridges are developed. Foramen small, circular, mesothyrid to permesothyrid. Deltidial plates conjunct forming a symphytium. Pedicle collar short. Teeth small without dental plates (Fig. 18 F, G). Cardinal process large, transverse, kidney-shaped. Inner socket ridges long. Outer hinge plates well-developed; inner hinge plates fused to the median septum forming septalium (Fig. 18 J). Crural bases weakly differentiated. Median septum, constituting half of the valve length, is high posteriorly, sloping rapidly to become very low anteriorly. Crura long, slender with short, sharply pointed crural processes. Loop diploform; descending branches narrow, parallel; hood extremely broad (Fig. 18 H, I). Muscle scars strongly defined on both valves. REMARKS The specimens show internally all the characters typical of Campages. The genus Jaffaia Thomson, 1927 which has a very similar loop is distinguishable from Campages by the presence of beak ridges and absence of pedicle collar. The Fiji material differs from other Campages species in having a relatively small foramen and elongate-oval outline, while typical Campages is subtriangular. In the revised edition of the Treatise, Logan (2007) listed seven species of Campages, six of which are known from off Japan (Dall 1920; Hatai 1940). Cooper (1970), in his revision of the genera Campages and Japanithyris Thomson, 1927, suggested that C. basilanica Dall, 1920, C. mariae (Adams, 1860) and C. pacifica Hatai, 1940 might be synonymous. All those species, as well as C. furcifera Hedley, 1905 are much larger than the investigated specimens and their anterior commissure has broad to strong folding (Cooper 1970). Campages philippinensis Cooper, 1970 is of similar size but differs from the studied material in having distinct growth lines and the ventral valve several times deeper than the dorsal one (Cooper 1970); the shell of C. ovalis n. sp. is nearly equally biconvex. Campages nipponensis (Yabe & Hatai, 1935) is similar in size to the investigated material but differs in having prominent growth lines (Yabe & Hatai 1935; Hatai 1940). In size, the specimens from Fiji are also close to C. dubius (Hatai, 1940) from off Japan, differing in having much smaller foramen and less elongate outline.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

03D087AEFF83FFA5FF2CFE56733AF9A9.taxon	discussion	REMARKS This species is very rare and was found in only one station near Wallis Island. Although a widespread species, Megerlia truncata is rare in the Pacific, reported until now only from New Caledonia (Laurin 1997) and the Austral Islands, French Polynesia (Bitner 2007). Megerlia gigantea (Deshayes, 1863) appears to be a synonym of M. truncata (see discussion in Bitner 2007).	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.

MEASUREMENTS. — Length 6.0 mm, width 4.3 mm. REMARKS Thecidella maxilla is widely distributed in the Pacific Ocean (Thomson 1927; Cooper 1954; Pajaud 1970; Laurin 1997; Lee & Robinson 2003; Bitner 2007). This is a small species that reaches 6 mm of length in the investigated material. The interarea is triangular with distinct transverse growth lines and no trace of a pseudodeltidium. No septum is observed in the ventral valve. The dorsal valve is subcircular with long median septum. The rim is strongly tuberculate. Thecidella maxilla is a shallow water species (Lee & Robinson 2003). The material from Fiji, collected at the depth of 200 - 420 m is dead and might have been redeposited from shallower water. The specimens of Thecidellina sp. from the Miocene of Fiji, illustrated by Cooper (1978) are very close to T. maxilla.	en	Bitner, Maria Aleksandra (2008): New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific.
