54. Toledonia sp. [ Figs 18A–B ]

Toledonia Dall, 1902: 512

Material examined. • 1 spm, Stn. 10.

Remarks. Several species of the genus Toledonia are quite common in Antarctica ( Engl 2012) . Although we can somewhat narrow down the potential number of species due to the punctate structure of the embryonic shell (e.g. T. punctata Thiele, 1912 or T. striata Thiele, 1912 are possible), we stick to the generic name of our material. We only found one specimen from 60 m depth. Both Arnaud et al. (1986) and Engl (2012) have already reported the genus from King George Island.
