Sympleustes grandimanus: Stebbing, 1906: 318 ; Sexton 1909: 857–864, pl. 80, figs. 8–32; Chevreux 1927: 86–88, pl. 7, figs. 1–5;?K.H. Barnard 1937: 158

Dautzenbergia grandimana: Chevreux, 1900: 73–75 , pl. 10, fig. 1

Dautzenbergia grandimanus: J.L. Barnard, 1961: 106 ;? Griffiths 1977: 109–112, fig. 3; Barnard & Karaman 1991: 316

Locus typicus: Cape Finisterre, 363–510 m.

Distribution: North Atlantic: Cape Finisterre, 510 m ( Chevreux 1887), Bay of Biscay ( Sexton 1909), Mauretania, 655 m ( Chevreux 1927); Indian Ocean: Northern Arabian Sea, 952 m (K.H. Barnard 1937), South-East Africa, 800–1200 m ( Griffiths 1977).

Remarks. The records of K.H. Barnard (1937) from the southern Arabian coast and Griffiths (1977) off SouthEast Africa are geographically distant from other observations reported in the literature and may belong to a different species. We have not examined this material and until these specimens are studied in detail, the species attribution remains uncertain.
