Remarks. These pakistanapseudine individuals from Singapore could not be reliably identified to lower taxonomic levels as they are in too poor a condition. Almost all specimens are incomplete and/or badly damaged and are likely to belong to more than one species. They are similar to Actenos sp. SG#1 and B. spiniferum specimens obtained in this study but can be easily distinguished by the minute rostrum that is not curved. They were collected from sandy silt bottoms along the East Johor and Singapore Straits at 10–54 m depth.
