Zeidler, Wolfgang, 2019, New and additional records of hyperiidean amphipods of the infraorder Physosomata (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea) from the Antarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean, Zootaxa 4576 (3), pp. 510-520 : 515

Mimonectes diomedeae (Woltereck, 1909)

Southeast Pacific: ex. 1013464, 10/793, [64.275°S 82.608°W], 3294 m.

Remarks: This seems to be a rare species recorded from a few localities, mainly from tropical regions of the Atlantic, North Pacific and Indian Oceans. The previously most southerly record is from the South Atlantic, off South Africa (30°15’S 13°15’E) ( Zeidler 2012). Thus, the above is a new record, not only for the Antarctic Zone of the Southeast Pacific Sector but also for the South Pacific Ocean.
