On a small collection of sea cucumbers from the Mediterranean continental slope with the first report and re-description of Pseudothyone serrifera (Oestergren, 1898) (Holothuroidea, Dendrochirotida) a new species for the Mediterranean Sea

Mésogée, 70(2016-2021):47-51.

This contribution reports on six holothuroids that have recently been collected on the Mediterranean continental slope. One species, Pseudothyone serrifera (Oestergren, 1898) (Holothuroidea, Dendrochirotida), is a new record for the Mediterranean Sea (Capraia Island, Italy). This uncommon species was hitherto only known from the North Atlantic (Scandinavia, the Faroe Islands and the Bay of Biscay). We provide a re-description of P. serrifera.
