Schizotricha multifurcata Allman, 1883

Synonyms in the area: Schizotricha binematotheka El Beshbeeshy, 1991 nomen nudum [polyp]; Schizotricha binematotheka El Beshbeeshy, 2011 [polyp].

Remarks: the name Schizotricha binematotheka El Beshbeeshy, 1991 is a nomen nudum because it was first proposed in an unpublished dissertation (El Beshbeeshy, 1991). Recently, this name was made available by El Beshbeeshy (2011) (see article 50.1 of ICZN 1999). However, S. binematotheka is considered junior synonym of S. multifurcata Allman, 1883 (Peña Cantero & Vervoort 1999) .

Distribution in South America: polyp—Atlantic Ocean, Argentina, from 40.45°S to 42.95°S (El Beshbeeshy 1991, 2011; El Beshbeeshy 2011).

Habitat: polyp—from 164 to 960m depth (El Beshbeeshy 1991, 2011; El Beshbeeshy 2011).
