6 Ceriantheopsis lineata Stampar, Scarabino, Pastorino & Morandini, 2015

Ceriantheopsis lineata Stampar et al., 2015c: 1475-1481

Type locality.

off Quequén, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Distribution.

Warm temperate south-western Atlantic, from Argentina (Buenos Aires State) to Brazil, Laje de Santos ( São Paulo State), at 5-130 m depth.

Remarks.

This species was recently described, and little is known beyond a detailed morphological description. Similar to Ceriantheopsis austroafricanus , this species shows considerable variation in color pattern ( Stampar et al. 2015b). The deepest record of the species is 130 m from a dredging expedition ( Stampar et al. 2015b). However, it is possible that the species occurs at even greater depths.

Type material.
