Description :
We present an updated database of 37 species of the genus Boeckella (Calanoida Centropagidae). This data aims to provide a comprehensive description of the geographic distribution of the genus south of latitude 40ºS in southern South America, the three-main terrestrial biogeographic regions of Antarctica (i.e. sub-Antarctic islands, maritime and continental Antarctica) and Oceania.
Last version incorporates 201 new records, 193 from Oceania (i.e. Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, New Caledonia), 7 new records from southern South America and sub-Antarctic island South Georgia and 1 new record from Mongolia. Additionally, we changed the taxonomic status of previous identification in the light of ongoing molecular studies.

Title : Distribution of the genus Boeckella at high latitudes: South America, sub-Antarctic islands and Antarctica
Abstract : The present study provides an updated database of 37 species of Boeckella, using a combination of recent sampling data and published records available in the literature, giving a comprehensive description of the geographic distribution of the genus Boeckella at high latitudes in southern South America, the three main terrestrial biogeographic regions of Antarctica (sub-, maritime and continental), including Australasia, Mongolia and New Caledonia. We included new records from South Georgia and changed the taxonomic status of previous records.
