Promesostoma meixneri Ax, 1951 View in CoL
Material examined
Site 11: one specimen in squash preparation.
Geographical distribution. Baltic Sea: Kieler Bucht; North Sea: North Frisian Islands (Sylt, Amrum, Jordsand); Norwegian Sea: Norway (TromsØ: GrindØ); Irish Sea: Anglesey (Menai Bridge); Bay of Biscay: France (Arcachon); Canada: Quoddy Region (St Andrews: Pagan Point) ( Ax 1956a; Boaden 1963a; Schmidt 1972; Ehlers 1974; Ax and Armonies 1987).
Remarks
Promesostoma meixneri View in CoL is characterized by a male stylet having three turns proximally and a characteristic distal tip. In our specimens the distal tip of the stylet was found to be straight, with a terminal pore, with no differentiations. Because it is known that during the course of development of reproductive organs the distal tip of the stylet is developed last, it is impossible to ascertain what subspecies was found. To date there are three subspecies known: Promesostoma meixneri meixneri Ax, 1951 View in CoL , P. meixneri roscoffensis Ehlers, 1980 View in CoL and P. meixneri ericae Faubel, 1980 View in CoL .
