Photis hawaiensis J.L. Barnard, 1955

( Figs 14 , 15 )

Photis hawaiensis J.L. Barnard, 1955: 33 –37, figs 18, 19.— J.L. Barnard, 1970: 191, 192, fig. 123.

Material. 4 males, 2 females ( NHMUK 2015. 3192–3197), A2 S4 Ocklemann sledge, benthos, Sea City, Kuwait, 22 October 2014, M. Nithyanandan.

Remarks. Despite the large distances that separate this material from the only other known locality (Hawaii), this material agrees well with the material described by J.L. Barnard (1955) and later ( J.L. Barnard 1970). Anthropogenic dispersal cannot be ruled out.
