Aonides paucibranchiata Southern, 1914

Aonides paucibranchiata Southern, 1914: 100 –101, plate 11, fig. 24.— Johnson, 1984: 6.41–6.42, figs 6.31–6.32.

Type locality. Clew Bay, Berehaven, Ireland, 16.5–43.9 m.

Type material. Cotype ( BMNH ZK, CR03/4T), Clew Bay, W84. 43.89 m, 25 May 2009, dredge.

Records. USA: off Florida, 20–24 m, medium-fine sand ( Johnson 1984).

Remarks. Specimens of Johnson (1984) differ from Aonides paucibranchiata Southern, 1914 , in having 10–11 pairs branchiae instead of 6–8, notopodial lamellae with long finger-shaped glands of a deep amber colour instead of none, and hooded hooks with 2 rows of apical teeth instead of one, and anterior notopodial lamellae are different between both specimens of Grand Caribbean region and A. paucibranchiata from the type locality. The identity of the records is questionable and should be confirmed with the type material.
