discussion
Remarks: This seems to be a rare species recorded from a few localities, mainly from tropical regions of the Atlantic, North Pacific and Indian Oceans. The previously most southerly record is from the South Atlantic, off South Africa (30 ° 15 ’ S 13 ° 15 ’ E) (Zeidler 2012). Thus, the above is a new record, not only for the Antarctic Zone of the Southeast Pacific Sector but also for the South Pacific Ocean.
