Scina spinosa spinosa Vosseler, 1901 Southwest Atlantic: ex. 1090369, 4/134, [61.967°S 65.275°W], 275 m; 1090401, 6/378, [54.183°S 55.683°W], 534 m; 1090417, 8/592, [55.25°S 25.625°W], 2562 m; 1090422, 8/627, [60.708°S 28.783°W], 666 m; 1090470, 4/ 141, [59.975°S 65.092°W], 915 m. Southeast Pacific: ex. 1013464, 10/793, [64.275°S 82.608°W], 3294 m; 1090460, 11/946, [67.65°S 90.45°W], 1711 m; 1090461, 11/944, [68.925°S 95.075°W], 3029 m. Southwest Pacific: 1090451, 11/898, [61.05°S 114.7°W], 2824–2891 m; ex. 1090455, 11/919, [68.392°S 114.483°W], 1007– 1098 m; ex. 1090456, 11/920, [68.692°S 114.2°W], 2196–2562 m; ex. 1090458, 11/930, [70.142°S 109.808°W], 1391 m; 1090467, 38/2, [64.108°S 150.077°W], 1500 m; 1090482, 38/7, [57.492°S 149.322°W], 600 m. Remarks: A relatively uncommon species known from scattered records, mainly from tropical regions of all the world’s oceans, including a doubtful record from the Mediterranean Sea (Zelickman 2005). It seems to be most common in depths of more than 200–500 m to about 1000 m, but has also been found in depths of 1000–4000 m (Vinogradov et al. 1982 /96). There are only two previous records of this species from the Southern Ocean; from the Southeast Atlantic Sector, near Bouvet Island (Wagler 1926) and from the Eastern Indian Ocean Sector, near the Davis Sea (Vinogradov 1962). Thus, the above are new records for the Antarctic Zone of the Southwest Atlantic and Pacific Sectors.
