Remarks
.
Collettea
is an increasingly species-rich genus with 24 described species (
Table 2
) at this time (WoRMS 2019), although it is likely to be polyphyletic (see also
Błażewicz-Paszkowycz & Larsen 2005
). The most recent key to the species is by
Wi
et al
(2015: 715)
. Using this, the new species described below would fail at couplet ‘3’ (its body proportions fall between the two values) or key to
Collettea lilliputa
Błażewicz-Paszkowycz & Larsen, 2005
that was described from the abyssal Weddell Sea.
