Resomia convoluta (Moser, 1925) Diagnosis: Very young nectophores bearing no lateral digitate processes. Bracts with relatively small, triangular distal facet on upper surface; with bracteal canal ending at distal point below a cluster of nematocysts. Palpons without distal cluster of nematocysts. Material examined: Two specimens kindly loaned to me by Dr Francesc Pagès collected in the Weddell Sea (see Pagès and Kurbjeweit 1994) by the RV Polarstern during the Antarktis IX/2 cruise at Stations 67 (2.xii.1990, 66°27.9’S, 28°43.9’W) and 94 (10.xii. 1990, 68°49.1’S, 17°55.5’W). Both specimens were collected in the 1000– 500m depth range using a multiple opening/closing net system (0.25 m 2 mouth opening, 100µm mesh). Description: The description is based mainly on the specimen captured at St. 67, as the one from St. 94 is in relatively poor condition. Pneumatophore: The pneumatophore of the specimen from St. 67 (Fig. 4 A) measured 1.88 mm in height and 0.55 mm in maximum diameter. It was quite featureless, ... : Published as part of Pugh, P.
