Cerianthus malakhovi Molodtsova, 2001a: 909-913; Molodtsova 2001b: 913; Molodstova et al. 2011: 1

Type locality.

Close to Torra Bay and Mowe Bay, Skeleton Coast Park, Namibia; at 300-350 m depth.

Distribution.

Only known from deep water at the type locality.

Remarks.

This species has been described in detail relatively recently based on five collected specimens. The original description, in Russian, contains no information on living animals because the material examined was already fixed at the time of diagnosis. This is a species that requires attention, as it can occur in deeper waters and may contain very important evolutionary information.

Type material.

Zoological Museum of Moscow University, ZMMU EC-102 (Holotype).
