? Pulcherella pulcher Hansen, 1913

Material examined: two females, ANT XXII/3 , PS 67/80-9-Epi, 70°39.07'– 70° 39.22'S, 14°43.36'– 14°43.39'W, depth 3103– 3102 m, epibenthic sledge, 23 Feb 2005 .

Remarks: Two females of the new genus Pulcherella found in the ANDEEP material are so closely similar to North Atlantic Pulcherella pulcher ( Hansen, 1913) that I could not find any clear differences. Such observation suggests a wide distribution of P. pulcher unless North Atlantic and Antarctic species represent cryptic taxa (see remarks on tanaid distribution).
