Ekmanothyone incurva (Cherbonnier, 1988)

(Fig. 25 A – D)

Parathyone incurva Cherbonnier, 1988: 206, fig 89

Parathyone incurvata; Massin, 1993: 257 (lapsus calami) Ekmathyone incurvata; Massin, 1993: 257 (lapsus calami) Material examined. Non-type material: IE-2007-774 (3 specimens, sampled North of Cape Saint André) ; IE- 2007-776 (10 specimens, sampled in South of Cape Saint Sébastien); IE-2007-787 (7 specimens, sampled in front of Nazendry Bay) ; IE-2007-788 (1 specimen, sampled between Majunga and Cape Saint André) .

Remarks. Massin (1993) noted that Parathyone Cherbonnier, 1988, is preoccupied and proposed Ekmanothyone Massin, 1993 as replacement name.

The specimens before us match perfectly with Cherbonnier’s (1988) description of P. incurva, and come from roughly the same area (Banc de Pracel) and depths (65m).
