ABSTRACT We report the finding of two species of Mantoniella from the Weddell Sen and Prydz Bay, Antarctica. As well as M. squamata, a cosmopolitan species, we describe M. antarctica sp. nov., the second species in this genus. M. antarctica is covered with two distinctive types of discoid scales. The flagella bear only the smaller of the scale types whereas the cell body has both types, the larger overlying the smaller.
