Summary:Recently collected material from west of the Antarctic Peninsula has proven to be consistent with Nymphon gerlachei Giltay, 1935, previously known only from the holotype. The information now available on its intraspecific morphological variability has allowed the distinctions between this species and N. charcoti to be established.
