Depth range: 2747 m . Type-locality: Valdivia Basin : “Vema” 14, slope of South Sandwich Trench, sta. 49, 56 °43’S 27°41’W , 2747 m (gear: small beam trawl) (JLB 62). Ecology: Collected from benthos. Other data unknown. Type material location: LGOC , New York. Remarks: Barnard and Drummond (1978) transferred the species to Harpiniopsis Stephensen, 1925 ; the latter genus and Harpinia Boeck, 1876 differ basically on the ensiform process of article1 on antenna 2, which is weak or absent in the first taxon and strong in the second. Harpiniopsis wandichia , as well as Harpiniopsis aciculum , is distributed in the West Antarctic , although H. wandichia is deep bathyal/abyssal. The genus comprises about 28 known species, but only these two taxa are found in Antarctic waters.
