Schisturella adversicola

Description

? Schisturella adversicola (K.H. Barnard, 1925)

Lakota adversicola K.H. Barnard, 1925: 327.―J.L. Barnard, 1967: 38 (table 1).

Chironesimus adversicola.― Schellenberg, 1926: 219, fig. 13.―J.L. Barnard, 1962: 22, fig. 2.

Schisturella adversicola.―J.L. Barnard, 1967: 38 (table 1), 72 (key).― Griffiths, 1975: 149.― Griffiths, 1976: 56 (key). ― Larsen, 2007: 14 (key).

Types. Syntypes, one male, one non-ovigerous female, SAM A2812.

Type locality. 40 miles north-east of Cape Point, South Africa, 560–700 fathoms.

Depth range. 564–4961 m (Schellenberg 1926, J.L. Barnard 1962).

Remarks. Schisturella adversicola is a poorly known species. The described characters are insufficient to place it in a genus with any degree of confidence. For this reason it tentatively remains in Schisturella until it is redescribed based on better morphological information.

Distribution. South Atlantic Ocean. Off Cape Point, South Africa (K.H. Barnard 1925, Schellenberg 1926); Cape Basin, South Africa (J.L. Barnard 1962).
