Abstract

Two known and two new species, as well as two new genera from the deep sea of the south-western Atlantic, Cape Basin and the Weddell Sea are described, including Leptostyloides secundus n. sp. and Pseudoleptostyloides mediosetosus n. gen. and n. sp. The diagnosis of the genera Divacuma and Leptostyloides are improved, the species Makrokylindrus paradivacumatus is transferred to the new genus Austrostylis, and the species Leptostyoides longiappendiculata is transferred to Pseudoleptostyloides n. gen.
