02CBD98CEC89CED9CC605123F6E7D502.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Dellichthys trnskii is endemic to New Zealand coastal waters, currently known only from shallow (0 - 7 meters in depth) waters along the northeastern coast of both the North Island (Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Northland, and Wellington) and South Island (Marlborough Sounds) (Fig. 9). Its occurrence further south may be confirmed by further sampling and by a better understanding of the differences between the two species.	en	Conway, Kevin W., Stewart, Andrew L., Summers, Adam P.
