Liomera caelata ( Odhner, 1925) View in CoL

Liamera caelata — J Jiang and Zhou 1982: 681.

Taxonomy: Odhner (1925: as Carpilodes View in CoL ), Takeda and Koyama (1974), Takeda (1976).

Type: Holotype in NHM; paratypes in NHMD, NHM and UUZM (original text).

Type locality: Macclesfield Bank, South China Sea.

Distribution: Eastern Indian Ocean to West Pacific: Cocos (Keeling) Islands, South China Sea, Japan, Palau, Kai and Murray Islands ( Odhner 1925; Davie 2002).

Habitat: Subtidal; associated with shallow coral reefs ( Sakai 1976).

Remarks: The only record of this reef-associated species from China and adjacent seas was that of Odhner (1925) from Macclesfield Bank in South China Sea, and no material was further reported despite decades of sampling efforts ( Dai and Yang 1991; Yang et al. 2008). The only local record from musselascidian / algal zone (low intertidal zone) along Tolo Harbour presented by J. Jiang and Zhou (1982) remains uncertain. We treat it as a doubtful record.
