Remarks.
Latreillia metanesa
was described from material collected in 1902 by the
Albatross
in the Hawaiian Islands, the
holotype
dredged off Puniawa Point, northern Maui (Williams 1982: 240). There have been no other records from the Hawaiian Islands since then except for additional 1902
Albatross
material (
Castro
et al.
2003: 616
;
Castro 2011: 36
). The present specimen is the first of the species to be recorded from the archipelago for more than a century. The species is known from across the Indo-West Pacific and the Sala y Gómez submarine ridge, southeastern Pacific off
Chile
(
Castro
et al.
2003
: fig. 9) from depths of
22–
806 m
. It was also collected from a station that dredged material from
300–905 m
in
French Polynesia
(Castro, unpublished).
