Description

Caecoserolis brinki (Kensley, 1978)

Fig. 28

Serolis brinki Kensley, 1978: 144, figs 14, 15.

Caecoserolis brinki.– Wägele 1994: 10, 11 (type species by designation).

Material. Holotype: 3 (8.4 mm), Indian Ocean; off the Natal Coast between Richards Bay and Lake St Lucia, South Africa, 28°31´S, 32°34´E, 24 May 1976, stn. SM 103, 680 m, coll. RV Meiring Naude (SAM 15460).

Notes on the holotype: Th e label data differs slightly from that published in Kensley (1978). The specimen has one accompanying vial with dissected mandibles and pere-

opod 1; other dissected appendages (right hand maxilla, maxilliped, pereopods 2 and 7; pleopods 1and 2) were not with the specimen.

Remarks. The species is identifiable on the basis of generic characters. Further material is needed to redescribe the species in detail (e.g. morphology of the pereopodal setae).
