| 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. Published as part of Schwabe, Enrico, 2008, A summary of reports of abyssal and hadal Monoplacophora and Polyplacophora (Mollusca) *, pp. 205-222 in Zootaxa 1866 on page 207, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.183815 |
