Atolla vanhoeffeni Russell, 1957 View in CoL

Material examined. AM G16025, east of Brush Island, NSW, 35° 36’S 150° 55’E, FRV Kapala , JP 77-13, 27 October 1977; 3 specimens, 33.17mm BD, 27.92mm BD, 15.77mm BD.

Remarks. The specimens match descriptions of A. vanhoeffeni by Russell (1957a, 1970) and Larson (1986b): i.e., the stomach is cruciform, with a pair of dark spots at each end of the cross. This is the first record of A. vanhoeffeni in Australian waters.
