Material examined

SOUTH CHINA SEA: 1 ♀ (39.6 × 44.6 mm) (ZRC 2016.0085), no other collection data.

Remarks

This deep-sea species was first described from the Bohol Sea in the Philippines, and is believed to be associated with glass-sponges (Richer de Forges & Ng 2007). The species is characterized by the two pseudorostral spines, which are tightly appressed along most of their length.

Distribution

Besides the type locality in the Phillipines, this species has previously been recorded in Taiwan by Richer de Forges et al. (2009). This is a new record for the South China Sea.
