ruled that no name published in Oken's volume three acquired the status 

 of availability. Consequently, the name Themisto, first made available 

 by Guerin-Meneville and a senior synonym of Parathemisto, is the valid 

 name of the amphipod genus.

 Megalanceola stephenseni — Indonesia, Phillipine Islands at depths of 



810-1040 m; Zeidler (1991). 

 Prolanceola vibiliformis — subantarctic waters of the Pacific Ocean 



(43° S 158°E); Barkhatov and Vinogradov (1988). 

 Mimonecteola diomedeae — South Pacific Ocean (41°2r S 158° W) and 



eastern region (27°20' N 117°31' W). 

 Mimonecteola mixta — eastern Pacific Ocean (13°25' N 104°45' W) 

 Microphasma agassizi — eastern tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean 



(13°25' N 101°45' W; 27°20' N 117°31' W). 

 Mimonectes loveni — southern region of the Pacific Ocean (43° S 



158° W; 40°21' S 158° W). 

 Scina vosseleri — southern region of the Pacific Ocean (43° S 158° W). 

 Scina indica — southern region of the Pacific Ocean (43° S 158° W) . 

 Scina antarctica — found in nets at depths of 500-2000 m and even 



0-200 m. 

 Scina oedicarpus — southern region of the Pacific Ocean (43° S 158° W). 

 Scina lepisma — found in Pacific Ocean, near the Nasca ridge (24° S 



85° W). 

 Vibilia caeca — inhabits the Indian Ocean (10° N 85° E) and near Aus- 

 tralia (Vinogradov 1990, Zeidler 1992). 

 Vibilia antarctica — it was verified that distributions are in antarctic 



waters. The species is circumpolar within the West Wind Drift, 



while the cold areas near the coast (area of the East Wind Drift) 



are avoided. In the antarctic sector of the Southern Ocean it is most 



numerous in the Bransfield Strait and Scotia Sea up to South Georgia 



Island, while eastward of South Georgia Island and in the Weddell 



Sea it is very rare (Weigmann-Haass, 1989). 

 Vibilioides alberti — Indian Ocean (33° S 45° E) and Pacific Ocean 



(22° S 83° W) (Vinogradov 1990a, b). 

 Cystisoma magna — eastern part of the Pacific Ocean (27°03' S 



117°52' W). 

 Hyperia medusarum — in the zone of the eastern barrier currents of the 



Pacific Ocean, discovered in the equatorial zone (8°03' S 80° 32' W). 

 Hyperiella macronyx — found in the Atlantic sector of the Southern 



Ocean: Weddell and Scotia seas (Weigmann-Haass 1989).
