Historic Oratosquilla oratoria specimen held at the Canterbury museum that is mentioned in the NIWA taxonomic monograph. “Chilton (1891) suggested that Heller’s record of Squillanepa from Auckland was a based on Squilla affinis Berthold, 1845 (= Oratosquillaoratoria (De Haan, 1844)) on the basis of an unlabelled specimen in the collections of the Dominion Museum, assumed to originate from New Zealand waters. Chilton’s specimen of O.oratoria, an incomplete dry specimen now in the collections of the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, lacks locality data but almost certainly did not originate from New Zealand waters”.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 164 July - August 2020.
