6. Sigmodota contorta ( Ludwig, 1875) .

O’Loughlin & VandenSpiegel (2010) published the determinations of numbers of Discovery Expedition synaptid (as apodid) holothuroids (see Table 4 above). They reported 10 specimens of Sigmodota contorta ( Ludwig, 1875) ( NHMUK 2010.75–84) from Marine Station 82 (Saldanha Bay). The location of Sladanha Bay in South Africa was not noticed, and the locality was mistakenly given as the Falkland Islands. There have been no other reports of Sigmodota contorta from South Africa, and this report for Saldanha Bay is now judged to be a mistake. There is also an RRS William Scoresby station 82 and this is now judged to be the source of the specimens. This station WS 82 was off the Falkland Islands at 140– 144 m.
