Endnotes

  • This is the only species identified (by W. Sterrer) of probably half a dozen gnathostomulid species collected in the brine seep area of the East Flower Garden Bank (Lat. 27°54'N, Long. 93°34'W) by Powell et al. (1983). Because of its excessive length (of 4.5 mm) the single specimen is only tentatively assigned to this species.

Species Notes

None noted.
