Remarks.
Not a new record, mentioned by
Tan and Morton (1998)
for
Hong Kong
. Originally described from boreal temperate waters (
U.K.
, South
Wales
), Indo-West Pacific records most probably belong to different taxa (Ben-Eliahu & ten
Hove 2011
: 62–71). We have mentioned the record here re-named to
S.
cf.
dysteri
, to stress that Tan and Morton’s material may have been similar to the temperate species, but most probably is a different taxon. This emphasizes the need to deposit voucher specimens in museum collections to enable a later check of the identification.
