Genus Benthogone Koehler, 1895 View in CoL
Diagnosis (following Hansen, 1975). Circumoral papillae present. Midventral tube feet absent. Dorsal papillae small, in single rows, double rows, or bands. Ventrolateral papillae absent. Ossicle wheels lack marginal teeth.
Remarks. Of the three currently accepted species of Benthogone worldwide, two have been previously recorded for Australia: B. abstusa and B. fragilis , both off northwestern Australia (WoRMS and ALA January 2024 *). Five lots of Benthogone were recorded from the IOT voyages at depths of 2156–2435 m, with four of those identified as B. rosea – a new species record for Australia.
