Bathyplax typhlus subsp. oculiferus Miers 1885
Authors/Creators
Description
Bathyplax typhlus oculiferus Miers 1885: 586; 1886: 230, pl. XX, fig. 3.
Remarks. Miers (1885: 586) described the taxon as:-
“... also a very interesting variety (oculiferus) of the West Indian deep-water Bathyplax typhlus, A. M.-E., in which the ocular corneae, although small, are distinctly bilobed. Milne-Edwards’ types, is to be noted, were dredged in deeper water.”
A more detailed description with a figure of the type dredged off Brazil were published later by Miers (1886: 230, pl. XX, fig. 3). Bathyplax typhlus oculiferus Miers, 1885, is therefore the senior name. Nevertheless, Tavares (1996) collected new material from Brazil, examined the variety of Miers and synonymised it with the nominal species.
Valid as Bathyplax typhla A. Milne-Edwards, 1880.
