Summary:Oswaldella tottoni Peña Cantero and Vervoort, 1996 Oswaldella tottoni Peña Cantero and Vervoort, 1996: 139–142, figure 2; Peña Cantero et al., 1997: 380–383, figure 12; Peña Cantero and García Carrascosa, 1998: 179; 1999: 214; Peña Cantero and Vervoort, 1998: 37; Peña Cantero and Marques, 1999: 85. Oswaldella bifurca: Totton, 1930: 208–209, figure 50. Remarks. Oswaldella tottoni is well characterized by the shape of the hydrotheca, which is low and situated on the distal half of the hydrocladial internodes, the presence of two axillary nematophores on the cauline apophyses, and the presence of only secondary hydrocladia (cf. table 1). Ecology and distribution. Oswaldella tottoni is a shelf species (Peña Cantero et al., 1997), having been found at depths from 256 (Peña Cantero and Vervoort, 1996) to 400 m (Peña Cantero et al., 1997) on muddy bottoms. Oswaldella tottoni seems to have a circum-Antarctic distribution. It is known from McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea (Peña Cantero and Vervoort, 1996), in East Antarctica, and from the east coast of the Weddell Sea (Peña Cantero et al., 1997), in West Antarctica.
