Barnard (1962) identified five specimens (', , , , and mm., sexes unknown' (Barnard 1962: 40) from the same Vema station as 'Andaniexis australis (?)', due to the inad- equate original description of the latter species ( 1932). However, examination and description of the type material of A. australis (see above), together with a closer examination of the present material, revealed that it should actually be separated into two new species: Andaniexis pelagica (immatures and mm) and Andaniopsis afhcana (see below). [In fact, Barnard himself must have reached the same conclusion after he had pub- lished his results, as there was a small note in one of the vials containing A. pelagica with a note stating 'holotype'.] The present species is not a 'typical' member of Andaniexis, it does not belong to the abyssi-gtoup (Berge & Vader 1997a), but is more closely related to the 'tridentata-gmup' (A. tridentata Ledoyer, 1986 and A. spinescens Alcock, 1894, see Berge & Vader 1997a),.
