Tetrakentron synaptae (Kristensen 1980)
Terra typica: Celtic Sea (France, Europe)
Celtic Sea:
• 48°44′N, 03°59′W; 0 m bsl: [FAO27] Type Locality: France, Brittany Region, Roscoff, from peribuccal tentacles of the holothurian Leptosynapta galliennei. Cuénot (1892, 1932), Marcus (1928b, 1929, 1936), Barel & Kramers (1970), Land, van der (1975)
• 48°44′N, 03°59′W; 0 m bsl: [FAO27] France, Brittany Region, Roscoff, Roscoff Marine Biological Station. Jørgensen et al. (2010)
• 48°43′N, 03°58′W; 0 m bsl: [FAO27] France, Brittany Region, E of Roscoff, rocky Madeira beach, from Leptosynapta galliennei. Kristensen (1980)
• 48°42′N, 03°47′W; 0 m bsl: [FAO27] France, Brittany Region, coast of NW Brittany, Terrénèz, from Leptosynapta galliennei. Barel & Kramers (1970), Land, van der (1975)
• 48°39′N, 02°02′W; 0 m bsl: [FAO27] France, Brittany Region, probably St. Malo [Saint-Malo]. Thulin (1942), Land, van der (1975)
Record numbers (Sea/Ocean classification): Celtic Sea: 5; total: 5.
Record numbers (FAO classification): FAO27: 5; total: 5.
Remarks: This is a monotypic genus that is closely related to the genus Styraconyx (based on claw structure) (Land, van der 1975, Kristensen & Higgins 1984a). It is a parasitic species associated exclusively with the holothurian Leptosynapta galliennei (for more details on the biology of this species see Kristensen (1980)). This species has been found only in Roscoff and a few neighbouring sites off the Brittany coast.
