Remarks

Specimens (iv)–(vii) are of the long-fingered second pereiopod type, (ix) with short fingers and in (ii) the fingers are subequal to the palm. The specimens (viii) may have been derived from sand-burrowing sponges rather than the eunicid tubes as this species is normally associated with sponges.

Distribution

Type locality: Ralun, New Britain. Also known from Kenya, Zanzibar, Tanzania, Madagascar, Seychelles, Maldives, Singapore , South China Sea , Philippines, Indonesia (Borneo Bank) , Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland), and New Caledonia .
