Treatment

Pseudohinnites levii Dijkstra, 1989b: 29 , figs 1-3.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — New Caledonia. South-east, 965 m, holotype lv ( MNHN 21417).

Rapa. BENTHAUS, stn CP 1910, 27°38’S, 144°15’W, 840-1200 m, 1 lv.

Tubuai. BENTHAUS, stn DW 1956, 23°18’S, 149°27’W, 600-990 m, 1 spm. — Stn CP 1967, 23°21’S, 149°34’W, 600-1200 m, 1 lv.

DISTRIBUTION. — Philippines, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna, Fiji Islands, Tonga and Marquesas Islands ( Dijkstra 1995a: 47; 2001: 90; Dijkstra & Maestrati 2008: 103-105). Depth range 581-2000 m (alive). Now also Austral Islands (new record), alive at 600 m depth.

REMARKS

The present specimens of P. levii from the Austral Islands are similar to the type material from New Caledonia, although the radial and commarginal sculpture of a specimen from Tubuai (stn CP 1967) is somewhat more delicate. However, these characters somewhat vary in observed material (MNHN) and the present specimen falls within this range of variation.
