Remarks. Cherbonnier (1974 b) erected this variety of a Macquarie I. species based on 16 specimens found in the rocky shallows of the Kerguelen Is. In the extensive sampling of the Kerguelen Is by BANZARE neither Pseudopsolus macquariensis (Dendy, 1896) nor this variety was found. Many specimens of P. macquariensis were found in the rocky shallows of Macquarie I.
