Type material

Holotype: USNM 170494 About USNM (not examined). Type locality: Galeta Island reef, Caribbean Panama.

Material examined

MARTINIQUE • 1 ♂; Le Robert; 14°41.1ʹ N, 60°51.4ʹ W; depth 10 m; 19 Sep. 2016; st. AB195; MNHN- IU-2016-1407 GoogleMaps .

Remarks

This species has rarely been recorded, mostly from Panama or Belize. The species was previously recorded from West Indies from Martinique by Müller (1990a) in Petite Anse Macabou. Therefore, the few records of Tanystylum birkelandi are all from the Atlantic coast. This species shows characteristic setae with microstetae on coxae 1 ( Child 1979).

Distribution

Caribbean ( Panama, Belize, Martinique).

Depth range

0– 15 m.
