| Summary: | Two new genera, Reductosoma gen.n. (Desmosomatidae) and Desmostylis gen.n. (Desmosomatidae), and five new species are described from the Maud Rise and the Gunnerus Ridgc, Antarctica. Two new species of the Desmosomatidae (Eugerdellatinae and Desmosomatinae) are described: Reduetosoma gunnera gen. et sp.n. and Desmosoma hesslera sp.n.; one species of the Munnopsidae (Eurycopinae), Disconectes colernuni sp.n.; and two species of the Macrostylidae from the Antarctic deep sea, Desmostylis obscurus gen. et sp.n. and Macrostylis sarsi sp.n. Comments on the phylogeny and zoogeography are given. |
