Leitoscoloplos kerguelensis (McIntosh, 1885)
Notes
Questionable status. Reported from Greece by
Akoumianaki (2004)
. In the Mediterranean also reported (questionably) from Spain / France (
Ramos 1976b
).
Leitoscoloplos kerguelensis
is a widely reported but much confused species with several incorrect re-descriptions and many wrongly identified specimens (
Mackie 1987
). The species is probably restricted to the Kerguelen Islands area and the Mediterranean material belongs to
Leitoscoloplos kerguelensis
sensu Ramos, 1976 which constitutes an undescribed species (
Blake 2017
).
