Description

Lanceola loveni grossipes Shoemaker, 1945

Southwest Atlantic: 301868, 6/348, [54°40’S 58°58’W], 644 m.

Remarks: This is a relatively rare sub-species of L. loveni, previously known only from the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans, mainly from tropical waters. The type material came from depths of about 1000–2000 m but specimens have also been recorded from depths of 150–250 m (Zeidler 2009). This is the first record from the Southern Hemisphere and the Southern Ocean, from great depth. Its occurrence there may because of the incursion of warm water as it is at the extreme southern range of the sub-Antarctic Zone.
