Hah. Straits of Magellan; west coast of Patagonia. In addition to the above, there are 4 specimens (130-180 mm.) in the British Museum collection from Port Famine and the Messier Channel. This species is difficult to distinguish from N. zviltoni, especially in the younger stages, and it is possible that the two forms may eventually prove to be identical. N. longipes has a rather more slender body, larger eye, and somewhat longer pelvic fins. Notothenia squamiceps, Peters. Notothenia squamiceps, Peters, 1876, Monatsber. Akad.
