Echinoderms from Southern New Zealand

Amphiura hinemoae Mrtsn., 1924

Amphiura hinemoae Mrtsn., 1924

  • Station NGH 64A, one specimen.
  • Alert station 14, ten specimens.

Colour—hitherto unknown from fresh material—pale pink or orange, the disc naked below, the primaries prominently pigmented with grey spots.

The type locality—and, indeed, hitherto only known one—is White Island, 55 fathoms. Thus, again, as in the case of Peronella hinemoae, the southern range of the species is extended by some seven hundred miles, yet no occurrences are known in the intervening waters.
