Remarks. Clarkcomanthus exilis (Rowe et al. 1986) is synonymized under Cl. comanthipinnus ( Gislén, 1922) based on molecular results that indicate specimens from Australia identified morphologically as the two species are really the same species. Rowe et al. (1986) originally considered the two (as O. exilis and O. comanthipinnus ) as most closely related within Oxycomanthus . The two were distinguished based on transverse bars on cirri, comb on P2, and an aboral light arm stripe in Cl. comanthipinnus that are all lacking in Cl. exilis . Variation in cirral ornamentation may be the result of habitat differences; Cl. comanthipinnus is generally semicryptic with arms exposed, while Cl. exilis is primarily hidden under rubble during the day. In Papua New Guinea, we found most juveniles under rubble and no species exclusive to rubble habitats. Descriptions of both species from Japan, the type locality of Cl. comanthipinnus , agree with those from Australia ( Kogo 1998, 2002).
