Molpadia lenticulum Cherbonnier & Feral 1981, new comb.

Abstract

<i>Molpadia lenticulum</i> (Cherbonnier & Féral, 1981) new comb. <p> (Fig. 32 A <b>–</b> B)</p> <p> <i>Trochostoma lenticulum</i> Cherbonnier & Féral, 1981: 405, fig.29 <b>Material examined. IE-2007-778(1)</b> (1 specimen sampled in front of Majumga)</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. Pawson (1965, 1967, 1977) lumped <i>Trochostoma</i> (and eight other genera) with <i>Molpadia</i>. As long as no complete revision of the group is carried out, we follow this decision. The holotype and paratype of this species were sampled at 750 m depth in the Philippines. The present record is thus a significant horizontal and vertical (950 m depth) range extension.</p>Published as part of <i>Samyn, Yves & Vandenspiegel, Didier, 2016, Sublittoral and bathyal sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) from the Northern Mozambique Channel with description of six new species, pp. 451-497 in Zootaxa 4196 (4)</i> on pages 490-491, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4196.4.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/168273">http://zenodo.org/record/168273</a&gt
