Flabellum View in CoL (U.) sp. cf. F. moseleyi Pourtalès, 1880

Flabellum sp. Cairns & Zibrowius, 1997: 158–159, figs. 21d–f ( NZ).

New record. QUEENSLAND: Cidaris I 49-2, 1, MTQ G55635 .

Remarks. Although this taxon is probably an undescribed species, Cairns & Zibrowius (1997) did not describe it because they had only three poorly-preserved specimens available. The additional specimen reported herein, measuring 31.0×23.0 mm in CD and 30 mm in height, is also poorly preserved (dead when collected) and thus still does not provide enough material for a proper description and differentiation from the western Atlantic F. moseleyi .
