Actumnus elegans De Man, 1888

Actumnus elegans De Man, 1888 View in CoL

Actumnus elegans View in CoL — Clark et al. 2008: 921.

Taxonomy: Chopra and Das (1937), Takeda and Miyake (1969c), Sakai (1983b).

Type: Syntype RMNH D 1356c, other syntypes possibly also in ZMA ( Fransen et al. 1997; Davie 2002).

Type locality: Lampi Island (as Sullivan Island), Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar.

Distribution: Eastern Indian Ocean to South China Sea and East Asia: Western Australia, Mergui Archipelago, the Philippines, South China, and Japan ( Takeda and Miyake 1969c; Garth and Kim 1983; Davie 2002; Clark et al. 2008).

Habitat: Subtidal; associated with epifauna, among coral head and sponges, often in areas with faster flowing waters ( Goh et al. 1990; Clark et al. 2008).

Remarks: The record presented by Clark et al. (2008) was identified based on work of Takeda and Miyake (1969c). The understanding of this species in the latter paper was considered erroneous by Sakai (1983b: p. 11), given frontal and anterolateral margins shown ( Takeda and Miyake 1969c: fig. 1) differ substantially from the syntype in the ZSI, illustrated by Chopra and Das (1937: text-fig. 12).
