“…We recorded this species from Sea Lion Island and Beauchêne Island indicating that it may be present throughout the Falklands archipelago. Only three other species are currently assigned to this sub-genus (Van Soest et al , 2013): Myxilla ( Styloptilon ) ancoratum (Cabioch, 1968), Myxilla ( Styloptilon ) anchoratum (Bergquist & Fromont, 1988) and Myxilla ( Styloptilon ) canepai Schejter, Bertolino, Calcinai, Cerrano & Bremec, 2011 recently described from the Argentine Sea. However, Hymenancora laevis (Thiele, 1905) and Hymenancora tenuissima (Thiele, 1905) should probably also be included (see Goodwin et al , 2011 for discussion).…”

Sponge samples were taken by scuba diving from six sites around Sea Lion Island (Sea Lion, Sea Lion Easterly and Brandy Islands), three sites south-east of East Falkland (Motley Island, Green Island and Triste Island) and six sites around Beauchêne Island. Nine new species are described: Iophon roseum sp. nov., Clathria (Microciona) tenebrosa sp. nov., Clathria (Microciona) cheeki sp. nov., Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) laptikhovskyi sp. nov., Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) croftsae sp. nov., Myxilla (Ectyomyxilla) beauchênensis sp. nov., Tedania (Tedania) livida sp. nov., Amphilectus fimbriatus sp. nov. and Isodictya cutisanserina sp nov. Additional information is provided on several species recently described from the Falkland Islands and Amphimedon marsei is newly reported. The biogeography of the sponge fauna of the southern Falkland Islands is discussed.

Namuncurá Marine Protected Area: an oceanic hot spot of benthic biodiversity at Burdwood Bank, Argentina

et al. 2016

The first open-sea (non-coastal) Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Argentina was created in 2013 (and named ''Namuncurá''), at Burdwood Bank, an undersea plateau located about 200 km south from Malvinas/Falkland Islands, SW Atlantic Ocean. This contribution represents the most recent and complete checklist of benthic organisms (mainly mega and macrofauna) that summarized 240 taxa collected at three sites in the mentioned area. The benthic richness here documented largely exceeds the values coming from other productive areas in Argentinean waters. Faunistic composition was different among the sites, although several species were shared. Bryozoans presented the highest richness compared to the other groups, followed by mollusks and sponges. These data represent valuable information and a very helpful starting point for incoming research, conservation efforts and management. It is essential to establish the spatial distribution of indicator taxa, like corals, sponges and bryozoans, to better attempt at the protection of benthic biodiversity in this rich Argentinean marine system. This is a key issue considering the notable extension of the MPA compared to other areas in Argentina, the bathymetric variations, particular oceanographic conditions and different fishing circumstances within the area.
