摘要: Bilistra gen. nov., B. millari n. sp., type species, mollicopulans sp. and cavernicola are described from karst areas in the northwest of South Island, New Zealand. occurs mainly surface waters, while stygobiotic troglomorphic, occurring cave waters. The genus is related to Benthosphaeroma Bruce, 1994, Neosphaeroma Baker, 1926, Thermosphaeroma Cole & Bane, 1978, but each these genera exhibits its own apomorphies, brood-pouch structure morphology pleopods IV-V. als Typusart, und aus Karstgebieten im Nordwesten der Sudinsel von Neuseeland werden beschrieben. komt vor allem oberirdischen Gewassern vor, wahrend Stygobionten sind, die Hohlengewassern vorkommen Troglomorphien aufweisen. Die Gattung ist mit 1926 verwandt. Jede dieser Gattungen weist jedoch ihre eigenen Apomorphien auf, hauptsachlich Struktur des Marsupium Morphologie Pleopoden
