South Georgia has a fauna of three species of prawns, Notocrangon
antarcticus and Chorismua antarcticus which are both Antarctic species,
and Campylonotus vagans Bate, a South American species (Zarenkov,
1968).
Boschma (1962) discussing the rhizocephalan parasitic barnacle,
Briarosaccus callosus Boschma, records its presence on two different
lithoid crabs, Paralomis granulosa (Hombron and Jacquinot) and
Lithodes antarcticus Jacquinot from the Discovery Collections, and both
from South Georgia.
P. Mollusca
The Mollusca of the Antarctic have received a great deal of attention, perhaps at times too much attention. The most important expedition results on Antarctic benthic Mollusca have been : Watson (1886),
Smith (1902), Pelseneer (1903), Thiele (1906), Lamy (1906a, b, c),
Eliot (1907), Melvill and Standen (1907), Smith (1907), Thiele (1908),
Strebel (1908), Lamy (1911a, b), Hedley (1911), Melvill and Standen
(1912), Thiele (1912), Smith (1915), Hedley (1916a, b), Vayssihre (1916),
Burne (1920, anatomy), Eales (1923, anatomy), Odhner (1926, 1934),
Bergenhayn (1937), Cotton (1937), Odhner (1944), Bartsch (1945), SootRyen (1951), Powell (1951), Gaillard (1954), Powell (1958), Dell (1964),
Arnaud (1965) and Soot-Ryen (1965).
Nicol (1966) has published a fully illustrated, systematic revision of
Antarctic bivalves.
An extremely useful checklist of Antarctic and Subantarctic Mollusca was published by Powell (1960). Clarke (1961) described some
abyssal forms from the South Atlantic and a general account of the
composition, distribution and relationships of Antarctic and Subantarctic Mollusca appeared in 1965 (Powell, 1965).
The writer (Dell, 1964b, 1965, 1968) has contributed three short
accounts of Antarctic benthic Mollusca, their distribution, zoogeography and some of the problems associated with future work.
Many general reports have treated Mollusca from South Georgia
but the following papers have been concerned only with this group:
Martens and Pfeffer (1886), Dall (1914) and David (1934).
The most recent general discussion of the Antarctic benthic Mollusca family by family is given in Powell (1965). This account includes
Subantarctic records as well. Some of the systematics has changed
slightly since this account but the basic picture remains the same.
