Bathyplotes natans (Sars, 1868) (Fig. 16 A – D) Holothuria natans Sars, 1868: 20. Bathyplotes natans Rowe & Gates, 1995: 328 (synonymy); Pawson et al ., 2009: 1202. Material examined . Non-type material : IE-2007-772 (1 specimen, collected between Majunga and Cape Saint André) Remarks . C-shaped rods have been reported from the body wall of several Bathyplotes species. As already noted by Östergren (1896), C-shaped ossicles are absent in the body wall of B. natans they are however present in the cloacal wall and in the longitudinal muscles, the latter being a new observation (fig. 12D). This record is however the first for the Indian Ocean. : Published as part of Samyn, Yves & Vandenspiegel, Didier, 2016, Sublittoral and bathyal sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) from the Northern Mozambique Channel with description of six new species, pp. 451-497 in Zootaxa 4196 (4) on page 474, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4196.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/168273 : {"references": ["Sars, M.
