Description

Echinoderes gizoensis Thormar & Sørensen, 2010

Material examined

Holotype

SOLOMON ISLANDS • 1 ♀; Ghizo Island, Grand Central Station diving locality; 08°00′49″ S, 156°45′26″ E; 14 m b.s.l.; 4 Jan. 2007; J. Thormar leg.; coral sand; NHMD-099742. Specimen mounted for LM.

Paratypes

SOLOMON ISLANDS • 1 ♀, 1 ♂; same collection data as for holotype; NHMD-099743 to 099744. Specimens mounted for SEM. See Table 1 for an overview.

Description

All details followed the original description by Thormar & Sørensen (2010), hence, we would only address two additional points. First of all, we can confirm the absence of glandular cell outlets type 2 in this species. Secondly, we can confirm the presence of female papillae in ventromedial positions on segment 7. They consist of circular openings, and quite broad, sort of rhomboid tubular intracuticular substructures. Tergal extensions of segment 11 are pointed, and extending into long, flexible seta-like tips, formed by a terminal fringe. Sternal extensions are rounded, without any particular fringe differentiation.
