Anamixis stebbingi
Walker, 1904
Anamixis stebbingi
Walker, 1904: 259–261
, fig. 18. —
Nayar, 1966: 144
, fig. 6. —J.L.
Barnard, 1971a: 40
, figs 14A, 15S (except S g1).
Type locality and specimens.
Sri Lanka
(formerly Ceylon),
India
.
Holotype
, anamorph male,
2 mm
.
Materal examined.
No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by
Walker (1904)
and
Thomas (1997)
.
Diagnosis.
Gnathopod 2 carpus denticulate near base, middistal portion with 2 raised processes; dactylus with denticulate inner margin.
Note.
The descriptions of
A. stebbingi
are vague and often based on imperfect specimens. Nayar’s description of
A. stebbingi
falls between Walker’s description of
A. stebbingi
and the description of
A. barnardi
.
Until examination of material from the
type
localities,
A. stebbingi
and
A. barnardi
will remain separate species, with Nayar’s description of
A. stebbingi
problematical.
Leucomorph
(juvenile/sexually dimorphic characters).
Unknown.
Habitat.
Among oyster reefs; no depth reported.
Host.
Unknown.
Distribution.
Indian Ocean:
Sri Lanka
,
India
(
Walker 1904
;
Nayar 1966
). Pacific Ocean: Hawaiian Islands (J.L.
Barnard 1971a
