| Literature: Records of the Indian Museum, Vol. XXXVIII, 1936, Phyllacanthus forcipulatus sp. nov., A new Cidarid from the Indian Ocean, Th. Mortensen, page 307 ff. and accompanying plates Remark: Although the headline refers only to the Indian Ocean, that is not a reason to assume, that the new species has been endemic to the Indan Ocean. As many other species, it apparantly occurs in Philippinian waters, too. |
