Genus
Bairdoppilata
Coryell, Sample & Jennings, 1935
Type
species:
Bairdoppilata martyni Coryell, Sample & Jennings, 1935
(original designation).
Remarks.
Most of the following systematic section on the genus
Bairdoppilata
deals with specimens previously assigned to
Bairdoppilata simplex
(
Brady, 1880
)
.
Bairdoppilata simplex
is one of the species described by
Brady (1880)
which was subsequently recorded from many distant localities, in this specific case, from the Southern Hemisphere (Fig. 0 3,
Tab. 3
), including the Pacific (
Brady 1890
,
Chapman 1902
), the Atlantic (Eastern:
Dingle 2003
; and Western:
Whatley
et al.
1995
,
1996
,
1997a
), and the Southern oceans (
Brady 1880
,
Dingle 2000
,
Hartmann 1989
,
1993
,
1997
,
Maddocks 1969
,
Neale 1967
,
Whatley
et al.
1998b
). Several of these records obviously do not involve the species
B. simplex
and also involve other bairdioid genera (see examples in Fig. 3.3, 3.6, 3.11b, 3.12, 3.22, 3.24). This is the case, for example, of the specimens from the “Gausstation” (Indic Sector of the Southern Ocean,
385m
), which were described by
Müller (1908)
as
Nesidea labiata
, and later considered a junior synonym of
B. simplex
(
Maddocks 1969: 77
)
. The restudy of part of the specimens previously assigned to
B. simplex
shows that more than ten different species are represented (see below), and that
B. simplex
is restricted to its
type
locality (off
Heard Island
).
