Thouarella (Epithouarella) chilensis Kükenthal, 1908 Material examined: BBB 2016: St. 12; St. 13; St. 23; St. 26; St. 35; St. 36; St. 39; St. 40. Distribution: Tierra del Fuego, Argentina (54°34′S, 65°50′W, 118 m) (as T. antarctica ) (Cairns & Bayer 2009); Iquique, Chile (Kükenthal 1919, as T. ( Epithouarella ) chilensis ); Crozet Island, sub-Antarctic (46˚5’S, 51˚52’E, 1005 m), Sandwich Islands (56˚44’17”S, 26˚58’36”W, 302–375 m), Estados (54˚34’S, 64˚00’W, 84 m), Indian Ocean (53°18’S, 73°19’E, 250 m), Weddell Sea (71°05.9’S, 12°34’W, 522–531 m), Patagonian Shelf (40˚57’S, 56˚52’W, 200 m), Burdwood bank (52°59’S, 44°22.7’E, 295– 325 m) (Taylor et al. 2013; Schejter et al . 2016a); off Staten Is., Burdwood bank (125–681 m) (present study). Remarks: Synonyms at the area: Thouarella antarctica sensu Cairns & Bayer 2009 (= T. chilensis ). As for most of Antactic primnoids, available information about T. chilensis is still limited to taxonomic works; a complete list of all these studies is given by Taylor et al. (2013), which recorded this species at the Burdwood bank area for the first time. : Published as part of Schejter, L., Genzano, G., Pérez, C. D., Acuña, F., Cordeiro, R. T. S., Silva, R.
