Limifossor fratula Heath, 1911: 44 View in CoL , 72; pl. 2, fig. 6; pl. 4, fig. 13; pl. 35, figs. 1–5, 10; pl. 36, fig. 8.

Type locality. San Diego , Southern California (32°42’0”N, 117°14’0”W), USA, 260–284 fathoms (475–520 m) GoogleMaps .

Type material. Syntype MCZ 362003 About MCZ (1 dried spm) .

Remarks. Heath (1911) described this species based on examination of two specimens from ‘Albatross’ station 4369 without designating a type. One of these specimens was prepared for histological sections which are deposited in the California Academy of Sciences, San Fransciso, USA; Stasek (1966) referred to these slides and to another one with sclerites as syntypes. The second syntype, MCZ 362003, was photographed and figured by Salvini-Plawen (1992, fig. 2; as a ‘paratype’); this is currently maintained dried in the MCZ collection.
