Chart showing the geographical distribution (white triangle) in the seas surrounding the Antarctic continent.
Nota: In this chart the area frequented by whaling vessels has been hatched. The Antarctic circle (66°.5 S) has been drawn as a broken line. The numbers I to VI refer to the sectors into which the Antarctic seas are divided according to Mackintosh (1942) (after Vervoort, 1951). |

Bipoar species
There are some disagreements on the synonymies between Brodsky (1950) and later authors.
After Markhaseva (1996, p.123) the examination of this species demonstrated the significant variability in body size, length and shape or posterior points oflast thoracic segment (features used in distinguishing C. polaris, C. pacificus and C. subantarctic). The latter species is considered to be identical to C. polaris. The author foud this species in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench between 2000 and 4000 m. | | | Last update : 21/01/2016 | |
