| Abstract |
A list of the stations at which mysids were collected is given with data of their exact location, the depth of the hauls and the type of gear used. Only five species are represented in the material. Three of these are well known and have a circumpolar distribution in the Antarctic and the colder waters of the Southern Oceans. One species, Amblyops tattersalli Zimmer, is very rare and has hitherto been known only from two isolated individuals. It is here figured and additional notes of its morphology are given. The fifth species belongs to the genus Mysidetes and is new to science. It is fully described and figured and a synopsis of the genus is given together with a key for the identification of its species. A table is given showing the geographical distribution of all the species of Mysidacea that have been recorded from the Antarctic and Southern Oceans. |
