Acanthonotozomella rauscherti Coleman & Jäger, 2001: 475–483, figs 1–5.

Acanthonotozomella rauscherti – Coleman 2007: 15, fig. 2, map 1 (open square).

Acanthonotozomella cf. rauscherti –? Rauschert & Arntz 2015: 59, pl. 52.

Distribution

Drake Passage, North of King George Island, 61°26.8ʹ S, 58°06.2ʹ W to 61°27.1ʹ S, 58°05.2ʹ W, 1047– 1227 m.

Remarks

Coleman & Jäger (2001) indicate that the locus typicus of Acanthonotozomella rauscherti is: RV Polarstern, cruise PS48, ANT-XV/3, station 336, Drake Passage, 62°21.9528ʹ S, 58°41.1854ʹ W, depth 1000 m, 19.03.1998. The coordinates of station 336 are actually 61°26.8ʹ S, 58°06.2ʹ W (gear on ground) to 61°27.1ʹ S, 58°05.2ʹ W (start of heaving), 1047–1227 m, 19.03.1998 (Arntz & Gutt 1999).

Rauschert & Arntz (2015) give a photograph of an Acanthonotozomella cf. rauscherti, which almost certainly really belongs to the present species. The apparent slight differences might be size-related, as the specimen photographed is a juvenile. Rauschert & Arntz (2015) give very little information on their specimen. However, in the photographic archives of RBINS, an annotated version of the same photograph is present. The specimen is said to be 5 mm long and was collected at station 232 of ANT- XXI/2. The coordinates of this station are: 71°18.61ʹ S, 13°56.12ʹ W to 71°18.73ʹ S, 13°56.57ʹ W (eastern shelf of the Weddell Sea), 900– 910 m.
