Non-type material : IE-2007-814 ( 3 specimens , sampled in Mahajamba Bay) Remarks . Hitherto this species was known from only from the shallow-waters of southern Mozambique ( Macnae & Kalk, 1958 ) and the East coast of South Africa (Cherbonnier, 1970, Thandar, 1991 , 2006 ). The present records, sampled at 257 m depth in the Northern Mozambique Channel are thus considerable latitudinal and bathymetric range extensions.
