Bathyechiniscus tetronyx Steiner 1926
Description
95. Bathyechiniscus tetronyx Steiner, 1926
Bathyechiniscus tetronyx n. g. n. sp. (Steiner 1926)
Davis Sea:
• 66°02′S, 89°38′E; 385 m bsl: Type Locality: [FAO58] Antarctica, near Wilhelm II Land, Gauss station, sediments. Steiner (1926)
Record numbers (Sea/Ocean classification): Davis Sea: 1; total: 1
Record numbers (FAO classification): FAO58: 1; total: 1.
Remarks: This species with an uncertain diagnosis is in need of redescription. In the past, some specimens from Europe and the USA were attributed to this taxon, but these were later re-examined and attributed to Styraconyx sargassi. Presently the taxonomic position of this taxon is unclear and the genus/species is known only from the type locality (see also remarks in S. craticulus).
