Material examined. NMV F308162 About NMV (1) [IN 2022 V08 106] ; NMV F308227 About NMV (1) [IN 2022 V08 122] .

Remarks. Two additional lots from two stations were identified to Psychropotes based on external morphology and ossicles but without sufficient characteristics or genetics to take further at this stage.

Order Holothuriida Miller, Kerr, Paulay, Reich, Wilson, Carvajal and Rouse, 2017 View in CoL

Diagnosis. (see Miller et al., 2017)

Remarks. The order Holothuriida was erected in 2017 as a well-supported sister clade to the Neoholothuriida ( Miller et al., 2017). The Holothuriida comprises only two currently accepted families,bothofwhicharerepresentedinAustralia: Holothuriidae Burmeister, 1837 and Mesothuriidae Smirnov, 2012 . The Holothuriidae contain many of the well-known tropical and temperate shallow-water species, but only Mesothuriidae was represented in material from the IOT voyages.
