Geographical distribution. Southern Ocean, 2450 m. (Kluge). Notoplites perditus, which I have not seen, has quite conspicuous marginal avicularia and a small uncalcified area in the ectooecium, thus resembling the members of the N. antarcticus group (see Key p. 340, bifurcation 2). Kluge does not mention internal spines, but as he mentions them in only one of the four members of the group, and as he described N. perditus from a small fragment which was lost after only a preliminary examination, they may yet prove to be present. Frontal avicularia appear to have been absent, and the rounded scutum with a small, sharply demarcated, distal lobe would, if constant, be characteristic.
