Description
15cm long arm fragments of a
Freyellidae
recovered from ROV biobox. Identified by DNA and morphological examination (Fig. 10). Morphological identification suggests
Freyastera benthophila
detailed in
Sladen 1889
).
Genetic data for this taxa with new GenBank accession numbers are provided in Table 2
Diagnosis
Forms a unique monophyletic clade distinct from other AB01 specimens (Fig. 5). The speciemens differs significantly in sequence identity to the published 16S sequence of
Freyastera benthophila
on GenBank accession EU722993 (K2P = 0,064). The type locality of
Freyastera benthophila
is in South Pacific (39°41'S; 131°23'W, 4663m depth).
