Nauticaris marionis
Spence Bate, 1888
Known from several sub-Antarctic areas: Marion Island (
Spence Bate 1888
), Prince Edward Island (Branch
et al.
1991;
Pakhomov
et al.
2000
); Crozet and Kerguelen Islands (
Ledoyer 1979
);
Auckland
and Campbell Islands (Chilton 1909;
Stephensen 1927
), Snares Islands (
Fenwick 1978
), as well as off Tasmania (
Poore 2004
) and southern
New Zealand
(Yaldwyn & Webber 2011). Davie (2002) mentions the species from the Australian Antarctic Territory, but no substantiating records could be traced and the species is herein not considered to occur south of the Antarctic Polar Front. Also recorded from Patagonia and the
Falkland Islands
, but according to
Holthuis (1952)
these records refer to the closely related
Nauticaris magellanica
. It should be noted that considerable rostral differences are noted in the material from Tasmania by
Poore (2004)
and it cannot be discounted that a species complex is involved. Benthic,
20–256 m
depth. Synonyms:
Hippolyte stewarti
Thomson, 1889
;
Merhippolyte australis
Hodgson, 1902
.
