Taxonomic remark Dall (1920) moves the species from Liothyrella to Gryphus. Thus the spelling of the specific epithet changed from 'antarctica' to 'antarcticus' to agree with the genus name gender.
Change not recognized by later researchers (e.g., Foster, 1974) which retained species in Liothyrella [details]
