Microphasmoides vitjazi Vinogradov, 1960 Southwest Atlantic: 1090283, 8/654, [57°53’S 27°36’W], 1812 m. Remarks: This is a relatively rare species, previously recorded from the tropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, usually from deep-water (> 500 m). Thus, the above is the first record for the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic Zone of the Southwest Atlantic Sector and its occurrence there may be because of the incursion of warm water south.
