Material Examined. USNM 1072478 View Materials , Anton Bruun Cruise 7 Station 371E, off southern Mozambique, 24°46’S, 35°20’E, 132 m, 18 August, 1964, 1 specimen ( Fig. 6F–I View FIGURE 6 ). GoogleMaps

Remarks. A small (5 mm disc diameter) example, but showing the adult characteristics of a disc covering of closely set domed tubercles, with larger ones on the radial shields ( Fig. 6F, H View FIGURE 6 ). The girdle bands on the arms begin at the disc edge ( Fig. 6I View FIGURE 6 ), and the girdle hooklets have the typical single secondary hooklet. There is a single madreporite at the disc edge orally.

This record, off the Mozambique coast, is a range extension of A. ludwigi from the eastern Indian Ocean and Indonesia.
