Joeropsis sp. 16

Material.

3♂ (2.1, 1.7, 1.5 mm), Bommie Bay, Lizard Island, 14.66157°S, 145.47160°W, 8 September 2010, dead coral, 8 m, stn LI10-101B, coll. CB (MTQ W34024).

Remarks.

These specimens are similar to Joeropsis adusta sp. n. differing primarily in having a sub-quadrate pseudorostrum that has a weakly convex anterior margin and being reddish–brown rather than dark brown. Joeropsis lentigo Kensley & Schotte, 2002, from the Seychelles, is also similar, differing in having the anterior margin of the pseudorostrum more strongly convex. The latter species is not described in sufficient detail to make further comparisons.
