"The In 1925 Dr J. MARwicK published a paper in the (;edg.{nleboefe Vcrb(t,e,k on ". Indo-Pacific Element in the Marine Tertiary Mollusca of New Zealand At that time,

about 1000 species of marine molluscs were known as Cenozoic fossils in New Zealand.

During the next two decades, which I have elsewhere called the Golden Age of New Zealand Molluscan systematics (FLEMiNG 1966a), the total number of species was

almost tripled through the work of MARwicK, FiNLAy, PowELL, and others, and great

advances were made in the biostratigraphy and correlation of New Zealand Tertiary and Quaternery sediments. It therefore seems timely to review the subject on the basis of a new checklist that records a!most 3000 species, classed in 842 genera

The name Malayo-Pacific, used for the elements and of apparent tropical derivation in the New Zealand biota, refers to both plants and that used persistent dispersal avenues southward from the Malayan Melanesian regions. The marine mollusca that came by this Malayo-Pacific route are,

elements generally absent from Boreal and south-temperate areas. During the Terti- ary, earth movements are said to have led to partial fragmentation of the Tethysand to somewhat independent development of the faunas in the separated basins, for in- stance in the Caribbean and Mediterranean regions, at least after the mid-Tertiary (EKMAN, 1953), but cQmmunication was maintained, for the most part, between the parts of the far-fiung Indo-West Pacific Realm, extending from the Red Sea to Hawaii. The Malayo-Pacific faunal element which plays a fiuctuating role in the Tertiary history of New Zealand marine mollusca was apparently derived from the developing Indo-West Pacific fauna, and came to New Zealand by the immigration ef planktonic larv・ae under the infiuence of favourable currents, either directly from the north or via East , particularly at times when the subtropical and tropical zonal circulatory systems extended further south than at present.

Dofnition of Indo-Pactiic Genera

For the purpose of this analysis, approximately 842 genera and subgenera of marine Mollusca with a Cenozoic fossil record were classified as (1) endemic to the NewZealand subregion, (2) Australian (known only from New Zealand and temperate Australia), (3) Austral (south-temperate circumpolar), (4) Indo-Pacific, and (5) Cos- mopolitan (cf. FLEMING, 1963).

"Indo-Pacific" The term is here used for a broader group of genera than those now restricted to the Indo-West Pacific, and corresponds perhaps more closely with the `C concept of Tethyan" used in an earlier part of the geological record and with "tropicopolitan" the of some writers. As defined here, the Indo-Pacific element in- cludes genera now eharacteristic of the Indo-West Pacific Realm, or of parts of it such as the East Indies and Southern Japan (e.g. Myadora), and in addition genera extending more widely in the Mediterranean and Caribbean (e.g. Ctenoides) and even mto temperate seas (e.g. Pecten) if there is fossil evidence that such extended dis-

tributions are the result of colonisation by originally Mediterranean-Indo-Pacific genera. On the other hand, genera extending into Polar seas have been excluded, even if an origin in the Indo-Paeific is not improbable (LimqPsis, Laternula, C)'clocardia). Some

extinct genera are included solely on the basis of their fossil distribution and that of living relatives in warm seas (e.g. Conilithes, Atztria). A few endemic gene'ra or subgenera with obvious afinities in the Indo-Pacific have been included (e.g. Tra- cdycardium (Ovicardium), GomPhina' (Goniphinella), Tudiclana (Tudiclidae), Eocithara (). Many other endemic genera are probably of Indo-Pacific origin. Indo- Pacific subgenera within a single were plotted separately and a few subgenera were plotted separately from the genus (sensu lato) when the latter differs in range from the former. The classification of genera into biogeographic elements depends on imperfect data on their present and past distribution; the decisions are inevitably sttbjective, and will be revised by other workers. For this reason a full list of the

genera here classed as Indo-Pacific, with their ranges in New Zealand, is presented as Appendix I. Additional Indo-Pacific genera in the New Zealand Recent fauna, lacking a fossil record, have not been dealt with.

IVbw Zbaland Time Scale and Mollzascan Faunas

The system of local Cenozoic stages proposed by FiNLAy and MARwicK (1947), with later modifications, was used for plotting ranges. The stages are based primarily

on the succession of foraminiferal faunas, supplemented by macrofossils, especially

"shelf" above the Miocene. Faunas of Mollusca, mainly representative of environ-

ments, are known from most of the 31 post- stages, the only gap being between the Wangaloan (Danian, Paleocene) and Bortonian (Middle Eocene). For this review, the faunas for this interval (Matau Fauna, FiNLAy and MARwicK, 1937; Otaio Gorge Fauna, MARwicK, 1960, etc.) are grouped as Lower Eocene (Heretaungan Stage).

The molluscan assemblages known vary considerably in diversity, preservation, and eeological facies,' and some have been studied mote thoroughly than others.

These factors undoubtedly influence the analysis and the conclusions derived from it.

Yet reasonably rich faunas have been described from all the main divisions of the

Cenozoic, and the deficiencies are considered unlikely to falsify the main trends.

Method of Analysis

Using published records and unpublished identifications in N.Z. GeologicaL Survey files, the writer plotted the known occurrences of each genus and subgenus in the checklist of New Zealand Cenozoic Mollusca (FLEMiNG, 1966b) on a time scale based on the 31 post-Cretaceous stages and substages. The genera classed as Indo-Pacific were then re-plotted to show their total range (inclusive of gaps in the record). In a few cases, major gaps in the record (combined with systematic criteria) were in- terpreted as evidence of renewed colonisation of a genus. For example, the mid- Tertiary record of SPondylus was treated as a different invasion from the Cretaceous record of SPondylus, and the recent record of SePtder as a different invasion from

the Lower Miocene record. Doubtless many other double or multiple invasions have

been overlooked for lack of suficiently discriminating . The recorded ranges

have been treated empirically, despite the fact that many records depend on chance

discovery or recognition of a single specimen (e.g. Argonattta), and despite the pro- bability that many absences are due to lack of suitable facies (e.g. absence of Patelloida

before Holocene).

Changes in Immigration Rate

The numbers of Indo-Pacific genera appearing for the first time in each stage are plotted in Text-fig. 2. A few Indo-Pacific genera had already appeared in the Upper Cretaceous and some of them (Cucullaea, Glyqymerita) persisted.

'minor cance to fluctuations. The most important trend is the maximum of Indo-

Pacific colonisations in the Lower Miocene. Pre-Miocene fiuctuations are infiuenced by our relatively poor knowledge of the Lower Eocene (later Dannevirke Series) and upperrnost Eocene (Runangan) Mollusca, but there is some evidence that immigration reached a secondary peak in the Eocene. Following the prominent burst of invasions in the Lower Miocene, the abrupt fall almost to zero is an artifact due to ignorance

of the Hutchinsonian Mollusca, but a more gradual decrease in immigration rate dur- ing the rest of the Miocene and Pliocene is implied by the data. During the !atest

Pliocene (Waitotaran) and earliest Pleistocene (Hautawan) stages no Indo-Pacific colonists are reported. In this interval, which includes New Zealand's earliest Pleisto-

cene glaciation, the Subantarctic Zone of surface water seems to have moved north, favouring prominent southern colonists (FLEMiNG, 1944), but limiting, we may judge, the opportunity for successful colonisation from the north.

of such genera as Anadara, Pecten (s.str.), Hetiacus, Acrilloscala, Ctipulus, Eunaticina,

Tonna and Leucotina, some doubtless having reached New Zealand via East Australia,

which was the source of other newcomers at the same time. '

Short-lived Immigrants

"last When appearances" are plotted in the same way (Text-fig. 3) we find, perhaps eontrary to expectation, that the extinction of Indo-Pacific genera has not

been concentrated in a few periods of crisis, but has been well distributed throughout Cenozoic time. No・ less than 39 Indo-Pacific genera (22% of the total) are recorded

from single stages, and their extinction apparently followed shortly after their

establishment. Twelve of the 32 Indo-Pacific genera that combine to make the Otaian

Stage of the Lower Miocene the peak of Indo-Pacific colonisation were not recorded after that stage. Other genera disappeared progressively through the later Miocene,

Pliecene and Pleistocene, so that the modern fauna, despite new arrivals, differs

notably from the Tertiary Fauna in lacking such Indo-Pacific elements as Cucullaea,

The greatest number of Indo-Pacific incomers is recorded for the Otaian Stage in the Lower Miocene (lewer Aquitanian), which now includes the rich faunas of Pakaurangi Point described by LAws (1939--1944). The Indo-Pacific genera present in at least northern New Zealand during the

reported by SQuiREs (1962), these genera are the basis for the conclusion of New Zealand paleontologists that the peak of Tertiary warmth in the South West Pacific came in the Lower Miocene (BEu, 1966), and not in the Eocene as in the north-east Pacific (DuRHAM, 1950). For the Mollusca, the evidence for a Lower Miocene maximum of subtropical in-

Absolute Immigration Rate

Text-fig. 5 emphasizes the uneven length of the New Zealand Cenozoic stages. By accepting the current correlation of the stages with the standard divisions of the Cenozoic and the ages in years of the latter (Geological Society, 1964), it is possible to assess the approximate duration of each stage and thus to calculate a rough immi-

gration rate per million years. Thus during two Oligocene stages spanning the time from 36 to 27 million years (5% million years each), 11 and 16 Indo-Pacific genera appeared for the first time, at rates of 2 and 3.9 genera per million years. Text-fig.

6, showing the immigration rates for the whole Cenozoic, emphasizes the importance

of the Lower Miocene peak of invasion, and of the Lower PIeistocene immigration

when Indo-Pacific colonists, few in total numbers, re-colonised at a rapid rate during

quite short interglacial intervals.

There is a large list of characteristic Indo-Pacific genera that are not represented in New Zealand (Appendix II). These facts suggest that New Zealand always lay outside the Indo-Pacific Realm, even when Indo-Pacific elements were at their maximum.
