Latigammaropsis cf christenseni (Myers, 1995)

(Fig. 7)

? Gammaropsis christenseni Myers, 1995: 52, figs 21, 22.

Material examined. 2 females (OUMNH.ZC.2002.24.129) Pkuklim Reef; Halimeda clumps on reef rubble, from Halimeda (Chlorophyta) washings, 6 m depth; 07°20.542'N, 134°34.023'E; leg. S. De Grave & C. Burras, 29 May 2002.
