Item Paratanaidae collected in Chile bay, Greenwich Island by the XXII chilean antarctic expedition, with an apseudes from Porvenir point, Tierra del Fuego Island(1970) Shiino, SueoSeven species of Paratanaidae collected from the bottom of Chile Bay, Greenwich Island by the 22nd. Chilean Antarctic Expedition, and an apseudid obtained in the waters of Tierra del Fuego Island have been described and figured. Three of the Paratanaidae are known species: Nototanais antarcticus HODGSON, N. dimorphus BEDDARD, y Leptognathia gracilis (KROYER) which gives a beautiful example of bipolar distribution. Four are new to science, these being Typhlotanais longidactylus n. sp., T. greenwichensis n. sp., Leptognathia gallardoi n. sp. and L. elongata n. sp. The apseudid belongs to LANG's species, Apseudes hermaphroaiticus, which is to be sunk in a lower rank, a forma of Apseudes nipponicus. Forma typica and the new forma give another case of bipolar distribution.
