Summary: | 5 páginas, 3 figuras [EN] Nine species of siphonophores were collected during the Belgian† Magga Da? Expedition in a transect from South Africa to Antarctic waters between December 1966 and February 1967. Two species were recorded for the first time in Antarctic waters: Bargmannia elongata and Nanomia bijuga. The bracts of Thalassophyes crystallina were found and described from material collected during this expedition. Two substantial colonies of Mica micula allowed a redescription of species and its systematic position is discussed [ES] En la campaña «Magga Dan», se muestreó un transecto de estaciones desde Sudáfrica hasta la Antártida entre diciembre de 1966 y febrero de 1967. Se recolectaron nueve especies de sifonóforos de las cuales dos se dan a conocer por primera vez en aguas antárticas y se describe también la bráctea de Thalassophyes crystallina. La recolección de dos colonias de Mica micula ha permitido redescribir esta especie con mayor detalle y comentar su posición sistemática Thanks are due to Dr. E. Macpherson, as Director of thc program "The Study of the Austral African Fisherics", which support this work Peer reviewed
