Alainopasiphaea australis (Hanamura 1989)
* Alainopasiphaea australis (Hanamura, 1989)
A rarely recorded pelagic species known from off Tasmania and the Chatham Rise and Challenger Plateau, just outside the sub-Antarctic AOI (Hanamura 1989; Hayashi 2004; Ahyong 2010); pelagic, 345–797 m. It is tentatively included here, given the paucity of pelagic sampling in the sub-Antarctic AOI as it might be expected to range further south.
