Leptothyra innocens Thiele, 1912: 192, pl. 11, figs 24, 24a.
Leptocollonia innocens : Powell, 1951: 105; Powell, 1958: 183; Powell, 1960: 134; Egorova, 1982: 20, fig. 90.
MATERIAL EXAMINED: NZOI Stns A457, A463, A464; Eltanin Stns 1995, 1997; USNM, 72°05.8'S, 172°15.2'E, 392 m; USNM, 77°40'S, 30°35'W, Weddell Sea, 378 m.
DISTRIBUTION: Described from Gauss Station (89°E), Leptocollonia innocens has only been recorded subsequently by Powell (1958) from five stations between 49°F and 89°E (193-393 m) and by Egorova (1982) from the Davis Sea. It can now be recorded from six stations in the Ross Sea (315-549 m) and from the Weddell Sea (378 m). Although reported on so few occasions, the scattered records indicate a circumantarctic distribution.”
