Pseudocnus marionensis (Théel, 1886) Cucumaria serrata var. marionensis Théel, 1886: 74 –75, pl. 4 fig. 3. Cucumaria laevigata (Verrill, 1876).— Ekman, 1927: 396 –403, fig. 15 (part non Pseudocnus laevigatus (Verrill, 1876)). Pseudocnus laevigatus.— Pawson, 1971: 288 –289.— Rowe & Clark, 1975: 187 –188 (non P. laevigatus). Distribution. Marion Is, 92–1007 m (Théel 1886). Remarks. Ekman (1927) judged that Cucumaria serrata Théel, 1886 (and Théel’s varieties intermedia and marionensis) were junior synonyms of Cucumaria laevigata (Verrill, 1876). Cucumaria serrata var. intermedia Théel, 1886 (Heard and Kerguelen Islands) is raised out of synonymy above. Cucumaria serrata var. marionensis Théel, 1886 (Marion Is) is raised out of synonymy here. The maximum lengths of the specimens (60 mm) and ossicles (150 µ m) (from Théel 1886, Pawson, 1971, Rowe & Clark 1975) support the recognition by Théel (1886) of this variety. Pawson (1971) examined littoral specimens from Marion I. that he judged to be Pseudocnus ... : Published as part of O'Loughlin, Mark, 2009, BANZARE holothuroids (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea), pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 2196 on page 9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.189493 ...
