Distribution
South
Shetland Islands

145 m
.
Remark
The description of
Epimeria
sp. by
Andres (1985)
is based on two tiny (
7 mm
) male specimens. It exhibits similarities with
E. leukhoplites
sp. nov.
,
E. reoproi
and
E. vaderi
, of which the description is based on much larger specimens. It is likely that Andres’ (1985) specimens are juveniles of one of these species.
