Abstract
The isopod genus Echinozone is defined by a row of spines on the anterior margins of the pereonites, mainly pereonites 1 4 . Some species of this genus for instance Echinozone quadrispinosa (Beddard, 1886), E. spinosa Hodgson, 1902 and E. spicata (Hodgson, 1910), appear quite similar at first glance, especially in the pattern of the spines on the dorsum of the body. The variability of this character has led to E. spinosa being regarded as E. spicata, and E. quadrispinosa being synonymized with E. spinosa (Amar &Roman, 1973). A study of the type material has shown this latter attribution to be incorrect. The Occurrence of this genus in Antarctica is summarized for the first time and a key to the Antarctic species is presented.
