Genetic data for this taxon with new GenBank accession numbers are provided in Table 2. Diagnosis Species described by Stephen Cairns based on this specimen (NHM_341) from UK-1 claim area and additional material collected in the German claim area ( Cairns 2015 ). No genetic matches at Genbank but forms a cluster with Narella and Primnoa sequences published.
