Chiridota pisanii Ludwig, 1886

Remarks. In my report ( O’Loughlin 2002) on some ANARE and BANZARE specimens I listed Chiridota pisanii Ludwig, 1886 from Heard I., based on three ANARE NMV specimens. At that time hook ossicles were not detected in the specimens. These have been subsequently detected and the specimens now judged to be Taeniogyrus contortus ( Ludwig, 1874) . In the 2002 paper I unwisely combined ossicle measurement sizes of Tierra del Fuego and Heard specimens, compounding the identification mistake. This was appropriately addressed by Jens Bohn in Altnöder et al. (2007). Chiridota pisanii has not been found in the Kerguelen and Heard region.
