Bela striatula Thiele, 1912: 215 View in CoL , pl. 14, fig. 3

Material examined. • 1 spm, Stn. 2.

Type locality. Gauss station (Davis Sea), 385 m depth.

Bathymetric distribution. 70–752 m.

Substrate. Soft bottom.

Geographical distribution. ANTARCTICA: Circum-Antarctic. SUBANTARCTICA: -. SCOTIA ARC: South Shetland Islands. SOUTH AMERICA: -.

Remarks. We found a single individual in 70 m depth. The shell was somewhat abraded and 6.7 mm high, which is slightly larger than the specimens described so far. This finding is probably the first record for King George Island.
