Summary:Nine new species of ascophoran cheilostome Bryozoa are described from Antarctic localities. Five species are considered to be new to science ( Smittina favulosa, Smittina diffidentia, Smittoidea pugiuncula, Escharella mamillata, Fenestrulina antarctica ), while four others have been previously recorded under other names ( Smittoidea malleata, Escharella watersi, Lacerna watersi, Hippothoa belgica ). Escharella crozetensis Waters, formerly recorded from Antarctica, is considered to be limited to the Kerguelen region of the South Indian Ocean.
