Patinella polaris var. concinna Strebel, 1908: 81 , pl. 5 figs 76–82

Material examined. • 2 spms, Stn. 4; • 1 spm, Stn. 5; • 2 spms, Stn. 6; • 7 spms, Stn. 7; • 1 spm, Stn. 10; • 11 spms, Stn. 13; • 2 spms, Stn. 14; • 3 spms, Stn. 15.

Type locality. South Georgia.

Bathymetric distribution. 0–150 m.

Substrate. Hard bottom.

Geographical distribution. ANTARCTICA: Antarctic Peninsula. SUBANTARCTICA: -. SCOTIA ARC: South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands, South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands. SOUTH AMERICA: -.

Remarks. We found it at several stations between intertidal and 100 m. The species is already known from Maxwell and Admiralty Bays. Gonzáles-Wevar et al. (2019) present new molecular analyses and a comprehensive morphological revision of Nacella , which confirms the validity of all currently recognised species (and one new one), but also includes important changes to the published distributions of some species.
