Resumen:
Fibulia Carter, 1886 is a rare genus within the Order Poecilosclerida, at present itincludes ten species: six have been reported from the Pacific Ocean (Australia and NewZealand), two from Antarctica and two from the southern Atlantic Ocean. Species of this genushave a plumose or confused skeleton composed of multispicular tracts and arcuate or reducedisochelae as microscleres. Ten specimens of Fibulia myxillioides (Burton, 1932) were collectedduring three expeditions on board RV ?Puerto Deseado? to the first Argentinian off-shoreMarine Protected Area Namuncurá/ Burdwood Bank. Herein we provide new records andupdate the bathymetric and latitudinal ranges of this rare and endemic species. Photographs offresh specimens together with scanning electron micrographs and photomicrographs of thespicules and skeletal architecture of F. myxillioides are provided for the first time for this speciesand genus.
