A new marine species of the genus Paracypria (Paracypria fijiensis n. sp.) is reported from the Fiji Islands, a small island archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean. This is the first report of a Paracypria species from the Fiji Islands. Descriptions of soft parts and valves of Paracypria fijiensis n. sp. are presented herein, and morphological comparisons are made with existing Paracypria species from Australia, Japan and New Caledonia. Although eight coastal sites were sampled across the Fiji Islands, the new Paracypria species was found at only three sites. Large numbers of P. fijiensis n. sp. were recorded from intertidal flats, indicating it to be highly tolerant of the dynamic intertidal zone conditions.
据报道，在南太平洋的一个小群岛斐济群岛发现了一种新的拟浪花介属海洋物种（斐济拟浪花介，新物种）。这是斐济群岛首次报道拟浪花介属物种。本文给出了斐济拟浪花介新物种的软体部分和壳瓣的描述，并与来自澳大利亚、日本和新喀里多尼亚的现有拟浪花介物种进行了形态学比较。尽管在斐济群岛的八个沿海地点进行了采样，但仅在三个地点发现了这种新的拟浪花介物种。在潮间带滩涂记录到大量的斐济拟浪花介新物种，表明它对潮间带动态环境具有高度耐受性。
