Type
material - Remarks.
The
paratype
material collected at stations R/V
Akademik Kurchatov
927 originate from a very different locality and depth.
Type
material was not available for comparison but there is a possibility that they are different species. Because of that, the information given by Mezhov about male characters were excluded here and corresponding stations are listed below as further records instead of
type
locality. The
type
locality is hence restricted to the locality of the
holotype
.
