“…The presence of a second Mesothuria species of the genus in the Mediterranean Sea, Mesothuria verrilli (Théel, 1886), was discarded by Gebruk et al (2012 Description: Specimens smaller than 40 mm long; usually with pteropods and sand encrusted in the skin giving an external vitreous structure, colour dusty brown (Fig. 8A).…”

Summary:This study provides a compilation of all available information on deep-sea echinoderms from the middle and lower slopes of the Mediterranean Sea, with the aim of providing a unified source of information on the taxonomy of this group. Previous records of species are updated with new data obtained from 223 trawl hauls conducted in 11 cruises within the northwestern Mediterranean Sea between 800 m and 2845 m depth. Valid names, bathymetric ranges and geographic distributions are given for all species. The new data report, for the first time, the presence of the Atlantic echinoid Gracilechinus elegans (Düben and Koren, 1844) in the Mediterranean Sea. We also report the presence of the endemic holothurians Hedingia mediterranea (Bartolini Baldelli, 1914), dredged only once previously in 1914 in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and Penilpidia ludwigi (von Marenzeller, 1893), known previously only from three samples, two in the Aegean Sea and one in the Balearic Sea. Additionally, the deeper limits of the bathymetric distribution of four species have been expanded: the asteroid Ceramaster grenadensis (Perrier, 1881) to 2845 m; the echinoid Brissopsis lyrifera (Forbes, 1841) to 2250 m; and the holothurians Hedingia mediterranea and Holothuria (Panningothuria) forskali Delle Chiaje, 1823, to 1500 m and 850 m, respectively.Keywords: deep-sea echinoderms; Mediterranean Sea; Gracilechinus elegans; submarine canyons; taxonomy; bathymetric range. Primera cita, redescubrimiento y recopilación de los equinodermos de profundidad en el talud continental medio e inferior del MediterráneoResumen: Este estudio presenta una recopilación de toda la información disponible sobre los equinodermos de profundidad en el talud continental medio e inferior del mar Mediterráneo, con el fin de proporcionar una fuente de información unificada sobre la taxonomía de este grupo. Se han actualizado los registros anteriores mediante nuevos datos provenientes de 223 pescas de arrastre de 11 campañas oceanográficas realizadas en el noroeste Mediterráneo entre 800 y 2845 m de profundidad. Se ha actualizado el nombre de las especies, sus rangos batimétricos y sus distribuciones geográficas. Los nuevos datos presentan, por primera vez, la presencia del equinoideo Atlántico Gracilechinus elegans (Düben and Koren, 1844) en el mar Mediterráneo. También se cita la presencia en el noroeste Mediterráneo de dos especies de holoturias endémicas del Mediterráneo, Hedingia mediterranea (Bartolini Baldelli, 1914)

“…Remarks.-In their thorough and comprehensive study of the species of Zygothuria, Gebruk et al (2012) clarified the status of the species lactea, noting that "The form and size of the ossicles…are characteristic." Zygothuria oxysclera Perrier, 1902, also occurs in the southern Caribbean and may be confused with Z. lactea (Gebruk et al 2012).…”
