Description
Voucher material NHM_267 maximum width of disc 10.5mm (Fig. 11). Length of medial antenna 3.1mm- specimen NHM_253 (Fig. 11). Morphological identification matches
Porcellanaster ceruleus
detailed in Wywille Thomson (1877).
Genetic data for this taxa with new GenBank accession numbers are provided in Table 2
Diagnosis
Morphologically matches diagnosis of
Porcellanaster ceruleus
Wyville Thomson, 1877. Forms a unique monophyletic clade distinct from other AB01 specimens. Sequences of this material has no genetic matches on GenBank or Barcode of Life Database. The type material of
Porcellanaster ceruleus
Wyville Thomson, 1877 was dredged by the Challanger SE of New York (38°34'N; 72°10'W, 2270m depth) wich is significantly separated from our collection site. We assign the tentative name
Porcellanaster cf. ceruleus
to this material until we have a better understanding of genetic variation within the species including data from the type locality.
