Atolla wyvillei . —Tasman Sea,	33°	33’S	154° 04’E	(Stiasny 1931:	29–30).	Southern	Australia (Southcott	1982: 151,	fig.

Material examined. TMAG K1105, Great Australian Bight, SA, FV Margaret Philippa, coll. Tas. Dept. sea Fisheries, Nov. 1984 ; one specimen (BD 72.4 mm ). SAM H1043, Great Australian Bight, 33° 58’S 131° 22’E , approx. 120 Nm SW of Cape Adieu, trawled 1000 m , FV Saxon Progress, coll. D. Wheenan, Nov. 1989 ; four specimens. SAM H1044, Great Australian Bight, 34° 12’S 131° 27’E , approx. 130 Nm SSW of Cape Adieu, trawled 1210– 1089 m , FV Longva IV, coll. K. Gowlett-Holmes, 16.xii.1989 ; one specimen (BD 90.3 mm ). WAM Z4627, North of Dampier, WA, 18° 30’S 116° 29’E to 18° 24’S 116° 29’E , 1280–1288 m , FRV Soela, coll. L. Marsh, 7.iv.1982 ; three specimens (BD 23.4, 26.2 & 30.0 mm). Remarks. All three WAM specimens were retrieved from a midwater trawl, and are in poor condition. The only identifiable characters are the well-preserved coronal band and the protruding radial muscles. The other specimens are in slightly better shape, with the characteristic clover-shaped stomach and radial muscles plainly visible. Despite their relatively poor condition, the specimens match primary descriptions of A. wyvillei ( Haeckel 1880 ; Mayer 1910 ; Kramp 1961 ; Larson 1986b ). Atolla wyvillei has been reported previously in the Tasman Sea by Stiasny (1931b) and in southwestern Australian waters by Southcott (1982) , but this is the first confirmed report of it in waters off South Australia and tropical Western Australia .
