Rossella antarctica Carter, 1872: 409; Tabachnick 2002: 1444, figs. 1–3. Acanthascus dubius Schulze, 1887: 147, pl. LVII, figs. 8–13.

Acanthascus grossularia Schulze, 1886: 49; Schulze 1887: 145.

Remarks. Rossella antarctica (as Rossella dubia (Schulze, 1887)) is known from a single report off Chile; to the south of Puerta Bueno, in Patagonia (51°27'30" S; 74°03'00” W, RV Challenger, station 310), from a depth of 410 fathoms (= 731.5 m) (Schulze, 1887). The distribution of this species includes Antarctica, southern South America and (doubtfully) off the Azores, in a depth range of 8 to 2000 m (Tabachnick, 2002).
