Heterocarpus tricarinatus Alcock & Anderson, 1894 View in CoL

Heterocarpus tricarinatus Alcock & Anderson, 1894: 154 View in CoL [type locality: Arabian Sea off Byramgore Reef, Laccadive Islands]; Chace, 1985: 41, Fig. 13o.

Material examined. – 2 females, CN K69 B-33, South China Sea, 19 ° 00'N 113 ° 30'E, 1100 m, soft mud, AT, coll. Xiutong Ma, 13 Jul.1959 GoogleMaps ; 1 female, CN 40 , Nansha Islands , 9º49.82'N 117º47.98'E, 1241 m, AT, 9 Aug.1988 GoogleMaps .

Distribution. – South Africa to Indonesia, South China Sea, Philippines; at depths of 1046-2000 m.

Remarks. – Although the width of dorsomedian carina on the third abdominal somite is about 0.35 of the carina length, between 0.30 and 0.40 that Crosnier (1988) used to distinguished the two subspecies of H. tricarinatus , the lateral margins of the carina are distinct and therefore can be referred to the subspecies H. tricarinatus angustus Crosnier, 1988 . Not previously reported from the South China Sea.
