{# Cassidinopsis maculata (Studer, 1840) #}

Listed in: § Convey et al. (2000).

Recorded from: ‘a rock pool several metres above high water’.

Location: Sandwich Is., [Southern Ocean].

Note. § All other records of this species are clearly marine ( Kussakin and Vasina, 1982), so this solitary record must represent an interloper deposited in the high supralittoral by strong wave action. Not listed in table 3, but mentioned in table 5.
