REMARKS This species was first described by Cooper (1981a) from Samper Bank, South-East of Madagascar , for “small nearly round Basiliola ” which Cooper carefully distinguished from previously-described forms of the genus, all from the Pacific Ocean ( Logan 2007 ; Bitner 2008, 2009). The distinctive corrugated teeth and sockets, subfalciform crura, general shape, overall dimensions and depth range of our specimens are in accord with Cooper’s types of B. arnaudi from Samper Bank.
