GENUS ALAINIUS BABA, 1991 View in CoL

Remarks: This genus, created by Baba (1991) for a species of galatheid from New Caledonia ( Alainius crosnieri Baba, 1991 ), is, as far as we can determine, known only from that region. Clark & O’Shea (2001) reported a species of this genus (as Alainius sp. ) from the vent system of the Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand. To our knowledge, no specimens were collected.
