30. Notomastus mossambicus (Thomassin, 1970)

Paraleiocapitella mossambica Thomassin, 1970: 86, fig. 9 a–h.

Notomastus mossambicus .— Ewing 1982: 234.— Çinar 2005, figs 3a–d, 4a–f.

Type material: Not found.

Type locality: Indian Ocean, Tulear, SW Madagascar, northern Cyprus (Çinar 2005).

Records: Indian Ocean, Tulear, SW Madagascar, northern Cyprus (Çinar 2005).

Remarks: Ewing (1982) designated the genus Paraleiocapitella as a junior synonym of Notomastus, therefore, P. mossambicus was relocated in Notomastus . We consider that this species was described with an immature organism, since it presents the eleventh chaetiger with hooded hooks on the neuropodia. It is also corroborated by Çinar (2005), who reported N. mossambicus from northern Cyprus with 11 chaetigers armed with capillaries on both, notopodia and neuropodia.
