The present study of the terebratellid brachiopod Calloria inconspicua (Sowerby) was prompted by the discrepancy in locating the brood‐space in previous studies (Percival 1944; Doherty 1979); the unique position of the pigment spots in the larva; and the question of whether an initial shell preceded the definitive shell, as in Terebratalia transversa (Sowerby) (Strieker & Reed 1984, 1985b). Forty‐nine mature specimens out of a total of 378 C. inconspicua collected from Otago Harbour, South Island, on 16 February—30 March 1990, and 35 specimens out of about 300 collected on 14–15 April 1990 from Goat Island off Leigh, North Island, spawned in the laboratory. Mature males shed spermatozoa or fragments of their testes. Each female spawned several times within the observation period of 12 days, releasing either a single developmental stage or a mixture of several developmental stages, including occasional fragments of the ovaries. The ova, 54–192 im in diameter, varied widely in size even in an individual spa...
