Scina spinosa spinosa Vosseler, 1901

Southwest Atlantic: ex. 1090369, 4/134, [61.967°S 65.275°W], 275 m; 1090401, 6/378, [54.183°S 55.683°W], 534 m; 1090417, 8/592, [55.25°S 25.625°W], 2562 m; 1090422, 8/627, [60.708°S 28.783°W], 666 m; 1090470, 4/ 141, [59.975°S 65.092°W], 915 m. Southeast Pacific: ex. 1013464, 10/793, [64.275°S 82.608°W], 3294 m; 1090460, 11/946, [67.65°S 90.45°W], 1711 m; 1090461, 11/944, [68.925°S 95.075°W], 3029 m. Southwest Pacific: 1090451, 11/898, [61.05°S 114.7°W], 2824–2891 m; ex. 1090455, 11/919, [68.392°S 114.483°W], 1007– 1098 m; ex. 1090456, 11/920, [68.692°S 114.2°W], 2196–2562 m; ex. 1090458, 11/930, [70.142°S 109.808°W], 1391 m; 1090467, 38/2, [64.108°S 150.077°W], 1500 m; 1090482, 38/7, [57.492°S 149.322°W], 600 m.

Remarks: A relatively uncommon species known from scattered records, mainly from tropical regions of all the world’s oceans, including a doubtful record from the Mediterranean Sea ( Zelickman 2005). It seems to be most

common in depths of more than 200–500 m to about 1000 m, but has also been found in depths of 1000–4000 m ( Vinogradov et al. 1982 /96). There are only two previous records of this species from the Southern Ocean; from the Southeast Atlantic Sector, near Bouvet Island ( Wagler 1926) and from the Eastern Indian Ocean Sector, near the Davis Sea ( Vinogradov 1962). Thus, the above are new records for the Antarctic Zone of the Southwest Atlantic and Pacific Sectors.
