Two new species of the genus Staurotheca Allman, 1888 have been studied (Staurotheca cornuta sp. nov, and Staurotheca multifurcata sp. nov). The material, from the Scotia Ridge area (Antarctica), was collected in 1986/1987 by the Spanish Antarctic expedition "Antartida 8611". Each species is described and figured, and its systematic position among allied species is noted. Data concerning autecology and geographical distribution for each species are given. A comparative table listing the main features of the known species of the genus is included. Finally, a general survey of the geographical and bathymetrical distribution of the known species of the genus is presented. Descriptors: Staurotheca cornuta, Staurotheca multifurcata.
