Traustedt, 1883, Sao Thomas; Rocha et al 2012 a; Monniot F.: 2016 b, and synonymy Stations: AB 197; 362, 452. AM 05, 20. AR 55, 87, 100, 101, 114, 194, 196, 353. (MNHN S 2 MIC 203) M. anchylodeirus was recently redescribed from different locations (Monniot F. 2016) and the Madibenthos material does not require more anatomical details except the spinules 0.2 mm long figured here (Fig. 5). Microcosmus multitentaculatus Tokioka, 1953 was established as a junior synonym extending the geographical distribution of M. anchylodeirus to the Caribbean area, Brazil, Mediterranean Sea Korea and Japan.

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Monniot, Françoise (2018): Ascidians collected during the Madibenthos expedition in Martinique 3. Stolidobranchia, Pyuridae and Molgulidae. Zootaxa 4459 (3): 401-430, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4459.3.1

Abstract

An inventory of the marine benthic fauna around Martinique was the aim of the European Madibenthos expedition 2016. Among a large number of invertebrates abundant ascidians were collected: the phlebobranchs and Styelidae among the stolidobranch were already studied and the results published (Monniot 2018 a and b). A third group, belonging to the Pyuridae and Molgulidae (Stolidobranchia) is studied here; it includes 13 species, three of them recorded for the second time. Each of them is described and figured and the geographic distribution is given.
