42. Notomastus zeylanicus Willey, 1905 View in CoL

Notomastus zeylanicus Willey, 1905: 287 View in CoL , pl. 5, figs 118–119.

Capitellethus zeylanicus View in CoL .— Augener 1926: 172, 1927: 218.

Type material: Not found.

Type locality: Indian Ocean, India, Sri Lanka, East Cheval Paar, 14 m.

Records: Only known from the type locality.

Remarks: Pillai (1961) mentioned that N. zeylanicus is possibly a species of Heteromastides , since it was described with a single, fragmented organism. Wiley (1905) described N. zeylanicus with both, prostomium and peristomium being achaetous; 11 segments with capillaries in both rami, and hooded hooks starting at chaetiger 12, features of Notomastus . The type material needs to be located and redescribed.
