Material examined. • 2 spms (Holotype SMF 367275 About SMF ; Paratype SMF 367276 About SMF ), Stn. 3; • 1 spm (Paratype SMF 367277 About SMF ), Stn. 9 .
Type locality. Ardley cove , Maxwell Bay, King George Island , South Shetland Islands .
Bathymetric distribution. 1–100 m.
Substrate. Soft bottom.
Geographical distribution. ANTARCTICA: -. SUBANTARCTICA: -. SCOTIA ARC: South Shetland Islands. SOUTH AMERICA: -.
Remarks. We have recently described this species from this material. It is the first recent record of an Ennucula species in South Shetland Islands. No Ennucula species were found during the numerous Antarctic expeditions, although some of them also visited King George Island. It is very likely that E. ardleyana was overlooked in earlier studies due to its small size.
