Family Laganidae — Peronella Gray, 1855 — Peronella hinemoae Mrtsn., 1921

Family Laganidae
Peronella Gray, 1855

Peronella hinemoae Mrtsn., 1921

  • Station NGH 3, one specimen.
  • Alert stations: 13, four dead tests; 18, three dead tests.

These records extend the range of Peronella hinemoae southward by over 70 miles; it has hitherto been known only from Hauraki Gulf, Colville Channel, and North Cape. The largest specimen measures 40 mm. horizontal diameter. The records also indicate a shallower habitat than formerly was known.
