Mimonecteola diomedeae Woltereck, 1909

Southeast Pacific: 1099843, 5/275, [66° 28’S 72°54’W], 1885 m.

Remarks: There is some doubt regarding the status of this species (Zeidler 2009) but it has been recorded from the tropical regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Zeidler and De Broyer (2009) indicated that this species might occur in the Southern Ocean with the most southerly record being from the south-west Pacific (41°21’S 158°W) ( Vinogradov & Semenova 1996). Thus, the above is a new record for the Antarctic Zone of the Southeast Pacific Sector.
