discussion
Remarks: Miranda et al. (2009) redescribed the species and proposed that the specimens identified as Haliclystus auricula Clark, 1863 in Chile (Kramp 1952; Quezada 1969 b; Zagal 2004 a, 2004 b, 2008) and Argentina (Amor 1962; Mianzan 1989 a) should be classified as Haliclystus antarcticus (Pfeffer, 1889). Miranda et al. (2010) used molecular data to propose the life cycle of the species. Distribution in South America: Pacific Ocean, southern Chile, at 37.03 ° S 73.55 ° W, at 39.78 ° S 73.34 ° W, at 52.65 ° S 71.45 ° W (Kramp 1952; Quezada 1969 b; Zagal 2004 a, 2004 b; Miranda et al. 2009); Atlantic Ocean, Argentina, at 42.76 ° S 65.03 ° W, at 47.75 ° S 65.91 ° W, and at South Georgia Island (Pfeffer 1889; Thiel 1928; Carlgren 1930; Kramp 1961; Amor 1962; Mianzan 1989 a; Davenport 1998; Miranda et al. 2009, 2010). Habitat: coastal, found in tide pools on rock and on algae (Kramp 1952; Amor 1962; Quezada 1969 b; Mianzan 1989 a; Zagal 2004 a, 2004 b; Miranda et al. 2009).
