Exspina typica Lang,1968: 188 View in CoL –192, fig 117, plate 8f–g. Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970: 374 –375, 379, fig. 23. Kudinova- Pasternak, 1975; 222. Kudinova-Pasternak & Pasternak, 1978: 183, fig.7. Sieg, 1979: 189 –190, fig.1. Thurston et al., 1987: 11 –15, fig.1. Larsen, 2005; 260.
Remarks. A very charismatic and distinctive abyssal species, which has been linked to a possible symbiotic relationship with holothurians such as Amperima rosea , Deima validum and Oneirophanta mutabilis ( Thurston et al 1987). Formerly part of the Family Leptognathiidae sensu Sieg, 1973 , and latterly in the sub-family Leptognathiinae (Anarthruridae) it was excluded after a phylogenetic analysis ( Larsen & Wilson 2002).
It is widely distributed in the world’s oceans ( Thurston et al. 1987) including the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench, 2400–4829 metres ( Kudinova-Pasternak 1970) but has not been recorded in the present study.
