Fig. 73. Scina rattrayi rattrayi Stebbing (after Wagler, 1926). 



Distribution: Varies in different oceans. In the Atlantic Ocean it is 

 rare (reported only at 12° 28' N, 29°42' W) In the tropical regions of 

 the Indian Ocean it is fairly common; found in the Arabian Sea, in the 

 equatorial zone between 10° N and 10° S, and enters Antarctic waters^ 

 (62°55' S, 118°52' E and 58°58' S, 109°21' E). It is not found in the 

 tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean but known in the north western part 

 north of 35° N. (Kuril-kamchatka region, southern part of the Bering Sea, 

 southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk) together with S. borealis — a more 

 common and numerous species of the genus Scina. 



* The specimens found in the Antarctic waters are close to S. antarctica in some details 

 of ornamentation of the uropods and the length ratios of the segments of pereopods V.
