23 Cerianthus valdiviae Carlgren, 1912

Cerianthus valdiviae Carlgren, 1912a: 44-47; Carlgren 1923: 245-252; Uchida 1979: 193; Molodtsova 2001b: 929

Type locality.

Between Keeling and south Sumatra, Indian Ocean.

Distribution.

Only known from deep water (at 5000 m depth) at the type locality.

Remarks.

This species was initially described in a table by Carlgren (1912a). However, the same author redescribed this species in 1923 in more detail. This is a species from the deep sea; however, the detailed description allows confirmation that this species belongs to Cerianthus . This is another example of a species that needs further study, as it may present very different characters compared to species from shallow waters.

Type material.

Not found in this study.
