24 Cerianthus vas McMurrich, 1893

Cerianthus vas McMurrich, 1893: 202-203, 206; Carlgren 1896:174; Haddon 1898: 401; Torrey and Kleeberger 1909: 115 -116; Pax 1910: 167; Arai 1965: 205

Type locality.

Cedros Island, Mexico (Pacific coast).

Distribution.

Only known from shallow to deep water (at 80 m depth) at the type locality.

Remarks.

This is a doubtful species, as the original description is very incomplete, and some characters are incongruent. Torrey and Kleeberger (1909) comment that Cerianthus vas is a very problematic species, but they did not discuss the problems in detail. This species may actually be valid, but due to the absence of materials from the same depth and location, it is not possible to further discuss this.

Type material.

Not found in this study, but the original description provided a graphic representation.
