Stenorhynchus yangi Goeke, 1989

Stenorhynchus yangi Goeke, 1989: 632 , tab. 2, Suriname [USNM 103269, 6°52′ N, 54°53′ W, 288 m].

Distribution/Habitat

WA; marine ( Suriname is the southern limit); 31– 450 m.

Remark

The only specimens collected off Suriname seem to be those indicated by Goeke (1989: table 2, 2 spp., USNM 103269). In USNM collection, n° 103269 is currently attributed to S. seticornis , det. Holthuis, coll. R/V Coquette, stn 33, 12/05/1957, 6.87° N, 54.88° W, 51 m [instead of 288 m in Goeke (1989)]. Another specimen collected during the same R/V Coquette campaign, and determined by Holthuis, is listed by Goeke (1989: table 1) as S. seticornis (USNM 103268, stn 32, 51 m). This casts some doubt on the presence of S. yangi off Suriname, currently its southernmost WA limit, and it will be interesting to confirm it in the future.
