The type of the species, i8i mm. in total length, was from the Winter Station of the ' Gauss', depth 380 metres. The above description is based upon another specimen, 114 mm. long, obtained by the Antarctic Research Expedition off Enderby Land (66° 12' S, 49° 37' E), at a depth of 300 metres, which appears to belong to Pappenheim's species.
