“Brookula decussata (Pelseneer)
Cyclostrema decussatum Pelseneer, 1903, pl. 5, fig. 48
TYPE LOCALITY. Bellinghausen Sea, 70ºS, 80º48’W.
St. 182. Schollaert Channel, Palmer Archipelago, 64º21’S, 62º58’W, 14 Mar. 1927, 278-500 m.
The specimens from St. 182 seem to be identical with Pelseneer’s species as far as I can judge from the rather sketchy illustration. They are very similar to pfefferi, but are smaller and have crisp, more definite sculpture with more numerous axials but fewer spirals.”
(Powell, 1951: 104)
