Status The variety was described by Dendy from south of the Three Kings Islands, New Zealand (34.45°S 172.1167°E, depth 549 m (holotype BMNH 1923.10.1.160, slides BMNH 1923.10.1.387–388). It differs from the type of Suberites carnosus (Johnston, 1842: 146, pl. XIII figs. 7–8, from Roundstone Bay, Ireland, approximate coordinates 57.35°N 9.92°W, holotype BMNH 1930.7.3.491, with type slide 1954.3.9.419) in its ovoid shape, (the type being a mushroom-like conical shape), lack of a central terminal oscule, and presence of centrotylote oxeas). The variety thus appears distinct, although Burton (1934: 46) followed by Bergquist (1968: 26) proclaimed the untenable concept of a polymorphic and cosmopolitan eurybathic S. carnosus. These authors offered no descriptions or comparisons with the holotype of S. carnosus as Dendy did. The geographic separation adds to our proposal to elevate the present variety to a valid species, to be named Suberites novaezealandiae Dendy, 1924. [details]
