Sericosura bamberi ? Arango & Linse, 2015 (Fig. 3) Sericosura bamberi. Arango and Linse, 2015, pp. 39–42, Figs. 2–3. Material examined: juvenile (34IV-TVG0801), Station 34IV-SWIR-S035-TVG08, SWIR, 37.66°S 50.47°E, TV- Grab, 1732 m depth, 13 Apr 2015. Distribution. The type material for this species was collected from hydrothermal vents in the East Scotia Ridge, Southern Ocean, at 1399–1462 m depth. This locality is thousands of kilometers away from the location where this juvenile specimen was obtained. Remarks. It is difficult to determine species identity of juvenile stages in this genus (as in general in pycnogonids), especially as most of the species descriptions lack the description of the juvenile. However, the characters of this specimen agreed mostly with those of S. bamberi. Apart from the weak chelae with smooth fingers and not fully developed ovigers, the juvenile is tentatively assigned to S. bamberi based on the sevensegmented palps, bent bulky proboscis, funnel-shaped cephalon and an ... : Published as part of Wang, Jianjia, Huang, Dingyong, Shi, Xiaofeng, Lin, Rongcheng & Niu, Wentao, 2018, First record and a new species of Sericosura Fry & Hedgpeth, 1969 (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida: Ammotheidae) from a hydrothermal vent of Southwestern Indian Ridge, pp. 131-138 in Zootaxa 4420 (1) on pages 135-136, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4420.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/1247236 ...
