| Summary: | Abstract: The species Notaspis antarctica is redescribed from recent collections from Antarctica. The species is sexually dimorphic, both sexes showing strong neotrichy on coxisternal region III/IV; the # & also showing strong aggenital neotrichy which is lacking in £ $. The species is also characterised by the possession of a broadly rounded tectum which forms the anterior margin of the notogaster, long thickened interlamellar setae, clavate sensillus and 28 short notogastral setae. The systematic position of the species is review-ed in the light of comparisons with Podacarus Auberti Grandj., Notaspis marina Lohmann, Notaspis belgicae Mich, and Alaskozetes coriaceus Hammer, and as a result the combination Halozetes antarctica (Mich.) is discarded in favour of a new combination, Alaskozetes ant' arctica (Mich.).
