| Summary: | Sericosura species indeterminate. Figure 9 A–C; Plate 3 D–E Material examined. One subadult specimen (NHMUK 2018.19), Southwest Indian Ocean, Coral Seamount, 41˚ 22.31'S, 42˚ 54.57'E, ROV, 732 m, specimen JC066-3440, stn 4.38, mooring site, on net containing Mango wood, 20 November 2011. One subadult specimen (NHMUK 2018.20), Southwest Indian Ocean, Coral Seamount, 41˚ 22.31'S, 42˚ 54.57'E, ROV, 732 m, specimen JC 066-1298D, stn 4.38, mooring site, on net containing whale bone, 20 November 2011. Remarks. These specimens are closest to the male specimens from the Walvis Ridge which Child 1882a assigned unconvincingly to S. mitrata (Gordon, 1944) however in the absence of a range of material it is difficult to compare adults and subadults of that little known species. Sericosura mitrata (Gordon, 1944) was described from the MacRobertson Coast Antarctica from 219 m depth and later recorded from Walvis Ridge off SW Africa at 2117–2154 m depth (Child 1982a) and the Ross Sea at 106 m depth (Child 1994a).
