Type: article

Abstract: During the 31st Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1986/87, two species of nuculids have been found in Ardley Cove, a bay on King George Island, one of which is new to science and is described herein: Ennucula ardleyana n. sp. This species was found at two stations alive as single individuals in the intertidal zone and in a water depth of 100 meters. Nucula falklandica Preston, 1912, the second species, is already known from this area. It was found at six stations with soft bottom and coarse sediment in water depths between 35 and 90 metres in Ardley Cove and Fildes Strait (between King George Island and Nelson Island).
