Psolidiella mollis (Ludwig & Heding, 1935) is an additional species of Antarctic dendrochirotid holothuroid that broodprotects in marsupia (see Table 1 View Table 1 ). Males have a long genital papilla ( NMV F157414 View Materials ), and females have up to five anterior interradial internal marsupia (fig. 3a; NMV F104865 View Materials ). One female from Bouvet Island (fig. 3b; NMV F104882 View Materials ) has 46 and 60 differentiated embryos (3–4 mm long) in each of two marsupia, and 52, 53, and 60 undifferentiated eggs or embryos (1.3 mm long) in each of three marsupia, evidence of two fertilization events .
