On the taxonomy of Apistobranchus species (Polychaeta: Apistobranchidae) from the Antarctic
The first report of Apistobranchus Levinsen, 1883 (Family Apistobranchidae) in Antarctica was presented by Hartman (1967). Two species were later described: Apistobranchus glacierae Hartman, 1978 and Apistobranchus gudrunae Hartmann- Schröder & Rosenfeldt, 1988, which differed from A. glacierae...
