Vellumnus penicillatus ( Gordon, 1930) View in CoL

Pilumnus penicillatus Gordon, 1930: 523 View in CoL ; Gordon 1931: 543, text-fig. 18; Shen 1940a: 228.

Taxonomy: Ng et al. (2008: as “ Pilumnus View in CoL ”), Ng (2010).

Type: Holotype ñ and paratype ò in NHM.

Type locality: Hong Kong.

Distribution: South China Sea: so far from Hong Kong only (see Remarks below).

Habitat: Subtidal; dredged from depths of 20 to 30 m (Ng 2010).

Remarks: This species was described from Hong Kong, with Balss (1938) subsequently reporting the species from Singapore (see also Ng 2010). A recent study shows that the Singapore specimen is actually a juvenile V. labyrinthicus ( Miers, 1884) ( Ng and Clark 2023) . As such, Vellumnus penicillatus is known only from Hong Kong thus far; but has not been reported again since 1931.
