Antarktische benthische Ostracoden. VIII. Auswertung der Reise der “Meteor” (Ant. 11/4) in die Gewässer um Elephant Island und der Antarktischen Halbinsel

Abstract

The present paper deals with ostracods collected in Antarctica during the voyage of R.V. “Meteor” (11/4) in December and January 1989/90 in waters around Elephant Island and west of the Antarctic Peninsula between 61° and 67°S and 54° and 69°W. 38 of the 50 species sampled were already known to science, but again 4 new species have been found, while 8 have to remain in open nomenclature. For the first time, a species of the subfamily Paracytherideinae was discovered in Antarctica. Additional material fromCytheropteron insulelephantensis, described by the author (Hartmann, 1989) from Elephant Island and rediscovered now at two further stations, shows that this species has to be placed into the genusNodobythere. The systematical part of the paper contains the description of the new species and new data for species already previously treated (see Hartmann, 1986–1991), while the list of species and the list of stations (see appendix) contains all the species that were collected.
