Material examined. ANT XVII/3: 111-7, several stems, up to 35 mm high, on O. terranovae, with gonothecae; ANT XXI/2: PS65/281, some stems, up to 60 mm high, on O. terranovae and gravel, with developing gonothecae.

Ecology and distribution. Reported at depths from 8 (Naumov & Stepanjants 1972, as Sertularella

cumberlandica) to 540 m (Peña Cantero 2012); present material collected at 67– 82 m. Species widely distributed in Antarctic waters, with circum-Antarctic distribution (Peña Cantero et al. 2002), but previously not documented from the Weddell Sea.
