| Abstract: | This paper contributes to the knowledge of the pingue group of species within the genus Diphascon. Three new species are described, Diphascon (D.) polare, D. (D.) dastychi and D. (D.) victoriae, from Victoria Land (Antarctica); they differ from other species of the pingue group in characters of the bucco-pharyngeal apparatus. D. polare and D. victoriae differ also in the claw shape. A key is provided to the Diphascon pingue group. Accepted: 30 November 1998 |
