 the Southern Ocean — at Heard Island, among other localities. Previously recorded

 sphere Dr. Brady records it from Tristan da Cunha and the Kerguelen Island ; also 

 from the latter locality and off Western Australia by Dr. Egger.

Lagena acuticosta, Reuss, 1861, Sitzungsb. d. k. Ak. Wiss. Wien, vol. xliv, 

 p. 305, pi. i, fig. 4. L. acuticosta, Reuss, Egger, 1893, Abhandl. d. k.
