Description

Sphenotrochus gardineri Squires, 1961

Sphenotrochus intermedius. — Gardiner, 1939: 333 (in part: Discovery II 388).

Sphenotrochus gardineri Squires, 1961: 26–28, 30, figs. 6–8; 1969: 17, pl. 6, map 1. — Cairns, 1982: 26, pl. 8, figs. 2–8. — Piñón, 1999: 20, 82 (listed).

Remarks. —This species was first reported from Chile off Cape Horn by Gardiner (1939) as S. intermedius. One additional record was first mapped (Squires 1969) and later verified by Cairns (1982) from Isla Guafo, both records occurring in relatively shallow water: 121– 152 m. The species is also known to occur off Tierra del Fuego at depths of 9–403 m (Cairns 1982). No additional records are known.
