| abstract | Two new species of Bdellidae are described viz. Bdellodes (Bdellodes) georgianensis and Bdellodes (Hoploscirus) rhachia. A 3rd species, Bdellodes (Bdellodes) sp., represented by 1 incomplete ♀ and 2 larvae, is noted. A 4th species, Spinibdella antarctica Trgdh. was previously collected in South Georgia by a Swedisch expedition in 1906 and described by Trägardh. A key is given to enable separation of all known Bdellidae from islands in the Southern Ocean. |
