Abstrakt		Bilistra gen. nov., B. millari n. sp., type species, B. mollicapulans n. sp. and B, cavernicola n. sp, are described from karst areas in the northwest of South Island, New Zealand. Bilistra millari n, sp. occurs mainly in surface waters, while B. mollicopulans and B. cavernicola are stygobiotic and troglomorphic, occurring in cave waters. The genus is related to Benthosphaeromo Bruce, 1994, Neosphaeroma Baker, 1926, and Thermosphaeroma Cole & Bane, 1978, but each of these genera exhibits its own apomorphies, mainly in brood-pouch structure and morphology of pleopods IV-V.
