NOTOTHENIIDAE 15 



Hab. Palmer Archipelago, Graham Land; South Shetlands; South Orkneys; South 

 Georgia; South Sandwich Islands; Bouvet Island. 



Lonnberg described this species from 8 specimens : i from the Shag Rocks, 5 from 

 outside Cumberland Bay, South Georgia, and 2 from south of Snow Hill; at depths 

 ranging from 250 to 310 metres. It was named after Capt. C. A. Larsen, the chief 

 navigator of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition. Although nearly the commonest species 

 obtained in this region by the Discovery Committee, N. larseni was not previously 

 represented in the British Museum collection.
