Description

Deutella schieckei Cavedini, 1981

(figure 9)

Deutella schieckei Cavedini, 1981: 515, figure 9; Krapp-Schickel, 1993: 794, 796: figure 542.

Material examined. Holotype male, MCSNV 606-607, 2 June 1974, Sardinia, Capo Caccia, Italy.

Distribution. Only known from the type locality, Sardinia, Capo Caccia, Italy.

Ecology. Interstitial (Krapp-Schickel, 1993).

Remarks. The presence of the genus Deutella in Mediterranean waters provided the Mediterranean fauna with a very interesting biogeographical element because of the affinity with species from the Caribbean fauna. McCain’s (1968) suggestion that the removal of D. mayeri from the genus Deutella would make it an exclusive Pacific Ocean genus and Luconacia, then, an exclusive Atlantic Ocean genus, loses foundation for further consideration with Cavedini’s (1981) discovery of the Mediterranean D. schieckei (Gable and Lazo-Wasem, 1987).
