14. Notomastus daueri Ewing, 1982

( Fig. 3d )

Notomastus daueri Ewing, 1982: 234 , fig. 1a–g.

Type material: * Holotype (USNM-71442), * Paratype (USNM-71443).

Type locality: Western Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, USA, Louisiana, 29.3 km SSW and Grand Isle , 28°56’12’’N, 90°04’07’’W, April 16, 1980, silty clay, 27.7 m .

Records: Only known from the type locality.

Remarks: Ewing (1982) described N. daueri having chaetiger 11 with hooded hooks in the neuropodia. He mentioned that this character distinguishes this species from N. precocis Hartman, 1960 , N. teres Hartman, 1965 and N. mossambicus ( Thomassin, 1970) . We can infer that N. daueri was described based upon an immature specimen. Nevertheless, it is considered a valid species.
