New species and new records of sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida) from deep waters in Western Australia Author Arango, Claudia P. text Zootaxa 2009 1977 1 20 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.185190 24ca7e3f-75f9-401c-abb1-a914a1c3dc22 1175-5326 185190 Pallenopsis temperans Stock 1953 Pallenopsis temperans . — Stock 1953 : 291 –293, fig. 10; 1954:63, fig. 30g ; 1968: 47. Material: AM P702802, 2 males , 4 females ; NMV J54987 , 1male , 1 female . 9 December 2005 , Point Cloates, Western Australia , CSIRO station 135-031, collected by beam trawl from 113.5110°E 22.8487°S to 113.5140°E 22.8583°S , soft bottom, 100 m . Remarks: This is a new record for Australia and extends the known geographic distribution of the species to the southwest, from the North and Central Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean off WA. The specimens were found within the known bathymetric range ( 0.5 to 284 m ) but it had not been recorded from soft bottoms previously. The specimens agree well with the type ( Stock 1953 ) including the shape of the ocular tubercle, somewhat inclined backwards, and the indistinct segmentation of the chelifore scapes.
