Paradota Heding, 1935 View in CoL

Paradota Heding View in CoL (in Ludwig and Heding), 1935: 150–151, fig. 14.— Gutt, 1990: 125–126.— Massin, 1992: 321–323.— Smirnov, 1998: 520.

Diagnosis. Tentacles 12, peltato-digitate, with 5 to 7 pairs of digits, longest distally; rod ossicles in tentacles; lacking ossicles in the body wall; 1 to 11 polian vesicles.

Type species. Achiridota ingolfi Heding, 1935 .

Other species. Paradota weddellensis Gutt, 1990 ; Paradota marionensis Massin, 1992 .

Remarks. Heding (in Ludwig and Heding 1935) erected Paradota for family Chiridotidae . Gutt (1990) referred Paradota to the Synpatidae Burmeister, 1837. Smirnov (1998) judged that the morphology of genus Paradota was close to that of genus Chiridota and referred Paradota to subfamily Chiridotinae .
