Abstract
THE mollusc Neopilina (Monoplacophora) was first found 20 yr ago in the Peru-Chile Trench of the Pacific Ocean1. Neopilina has since been found in other places2–4 including various areas of the Pacific, the northern Indian Ocean and the Atlantic part of the Antarctic. So far, no Neopilina has been encountered in the Atlantic Ocean proper, though it probably occurs there.
