Elamena vesca Ng & Richer de Forges, 1996 View in CoL

Elamene [sic] truncata A. Milne-Edwards, 1873: 323 View in CoL (junior homonym of Trigonoplax truncata Stimpson, 1858 ).

Elamena vesca Ng & Richer de Forges, 1996: 273 View in CoL , fig. 8.

Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1873) established Elamene [sic] truncata without giving figures and probably not aware of the existence of the Trigonoplax truncata of Stimpson (1858) from Japan. According to Kemp (1917), these similar specific names are due to coincidence. The two species are in fact different, and a new name, E. vesca , was created by Ng & Richer de Forges (1996) using fresh specimens from New Caledonia as holotype and paratypes. The species is cryptic, intertidal on rocky shores, in shallow waters (about 0.5 m).
