A revision of the Antarctic and Subantarctic members of the genus Yoldia Moller, 1842 (Bivalvia: Nuculanidae)

Samples from 15 Antarctic and Subantarctic localities were measured and subjected to discriminatory analysis of shell morphology. Only two species were recognized as belonging to the genus Yoldia Möller, 1842: Y. (Aequiyoldia) woodwardi Hanley, 1860 restricted to the Falkland Islands and South America and Y. (Aequiyoldia) eightsi (Jay, 1839) more widely distributed around the Scotia Arc from South America to the Ross Sea, Antarctica.
