Abludomelita somovae (Bulycheva, 1952)

Non Melita somovae (?) Bulycheva, 1952.— Budnikova & Bezrukov 2003: 204.

Recorded from coastal waters, marine lagoons and river estuaries of southern Sakhalin (Okhotsk Sea) on the littoral and sublittoral down to 20 m on various types of bottom (Tzvetkova & Kudrjaschov 1985; own data). Outside of Sakhalin coastal waters recorded from Peter the Great Bay, from the Tatar Strait (Tzvetkova & Kudrjaschov 1985) and from the South Kuril Islends (Dulepov et al. 1986).

Remarks. Budnikova & Bezrukov (2003) recorded the A. somovae from the shelf of nort-eastern Sakhalin at the depth of 140 m in the layer of constant low temperature (-1.2—+0.5°C). It is unlikely the presence of this warm-water coastal species in the sub-arctic conditions. Probably took place a mistaken determination of the Quasimelita quadrispinosa (Vosseler, 1889) which is a common species at depths more than 100 meters on the shelf of of the northeastern Sakhalin (Labay 2014).
