Harpiniopsis wandichia (J.L. Barnard, 1962) Barnard J.L., 1960: 326 (key), 339, 341–342, 345 (key), pl. 74, table 14. Barnard J.L., 1962: 3, 4, 12, 14, 50, fig. 39. ( Harpinia wandichia ). Barnard J.L., 1969: 414 (by implication). ( Pseudharpinia wandichia ). Lowry and Bullock, 1976: 130. ( Pseudharpinia wandichia ). Barnard and Drummond, 1978: 535. Barnard and Barnard, 1990: 61. Barnard and Karaman, 1991: 613. ( Harpiniopsis wandichia = Harpiniopsis sp.D). De Broyer and JaŻdŻewski, 1993: 83. Depth range: 2747 m. Type-locality: Valdivia Basin: “Vema” 14, slope of South Sandwich Trench, sta. 49, 56 ° 43 ’S 27 ° 41 ’W, 2747 m (gear: small beam trawl) (JLB 62). Ecology: Collected from benthos. Other data unknown. Type material location: LGOC, New York. Remarks: Barnard and Drummond (1978) transferred the species to Harpiniopsis Stephensen, 1925; the latter genus and Harpinia Boeck, 1876 differ basically on the ensiform process of article 1 on antenna 2, which is weak or absent in the first taxon and strong in the second. Harpiniopsis wandichia , as well as Harpiniopsis aciculum , is distributed in the West Antarctic, although H. wandichia is deep bathyal/abyssal. The genus comprises about 28 known species, but only these two taxa are found in Antarctic waters. : Published as part of Alonso, Gloria M., Pina, De, Rauschert, Martin & Broyer, Claude De, 2008, A catalogue of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic Phoxocephalidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea) with taxonomic, distribution and ecological data, pp. 1-40 in Zootaxa 1752 on pages 12-13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.181746
