Anatoma crispata (Fleming, 1828) : Figure 6 View FIGURE 6
Remarks. Anatoma crispata described from Europe is a species that is listed from virtually the entire globe. It is likely that the use of this species name has been overly extended ( Herbert, 1986: 616). A possible Australian listing was given by Hedley (1902) from Challenger Station 164b off Sydney. Hedley (1902) discussed the problematic locality data associated with the lot and concluded that this specimen is actually from Challenger Station 64, a mid North Atlantic station. The remarks by Hedley (1902) were repeated by Herbert (1986). Iredale & McMichael (1962: 4) cast further doubt unto the Australian origin of that sample. Both A. australis and A. crispata are variable in shell morphology and have some overlapping morphological characters, although the disjunct geographic distribution suggests that both are distinct species. The Challenger specimen (BMNH 89.10.26.33) was investigated by SEM and has morphological characters that apply to both species, hence, can not be positively identified as either of the species ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ). Hedley (1903) did not refer to this specimen in his description of A. australis , the holotype of which is at AMS.
