Description
Summary:Laevipilina antarctica Warén & Hain, 1992 Laevipilina antarctica Warén & Hain 1992: 167, figs 2–5, 6–8, 10–16, 19, 27. This species, originally described from the Weddell and Lazarev seas, Antarctica, had a bathymetric range from 210–644 m (Warén & Hain 1992). Recent additional reports by Schrödl et al . (2006) include a first abyssal record for this species. The abyssal specimen comes from soft bottom terraces 3 km to the SW edge of the Wegener Canyon (70°38.46’S, 14°42.87’W – 70°39.19’S, 14°43.44’W), Weddell Sea, where it was collected at 3102–3136 m depth. This was not only a considerably range extension but also the first indication that this genus is found at abyssal depths. Genus Monoplacophorus Moskalev, Starobogatov & Filatova, 1983 Type species : Monoplacophorus zenkevitchi Moskalev, Starobogatov & Filatova, 1983, by original designation.
