Distribution. South Sandwich Trench, 6766–7934 m.

Remarks. Bohn (2005) recognized that Lepidotrochus Belyaev and Mironov, 1980 is a junior homonym of Lepidotrochus Koken, 1894 , and erected the replacement name Neolepidotrochus . The distinguishing characters of species of Neolepidotrochus Bohn, 2005 are: wheel ossicles with outward-pointing teeth also have inward-pointing teeth; anterior projections of the calcareous ring plates are lower than the basal height of the plates; radial canal pore is situated higher than the base of the anterior plate projection (see Gage and Billet 1986).
