Neopilina bruuni Menzies, 1968 Neopilina (Neopilina) bruuni Menzies 1968: 2, figs 1 c, 4 A–E, 5. Although the holotype was originally described from the Anton Bruun Cruise 11, Station 197 (from the southeastern Pacific, Milne Edwards Deep of the Peru­Chile Trench: 11 ° 30 'S, 79 ° 25 'W, 6146–6354 m), a few pages later (p. 8) the author listed the species being from Station 179: Milne Edwards Deep of the Peru­Chile Trench, Southeast Pacific (08° 54 'S, 80 ° 41 'W). It is most likely that this latter station is correct and the original “ 197 ” numbers were mixed up, as other monoplacophorans were reported from Station 197 ( Vema ewingi (Clarke & Menzies, 1959; Neopilina sp.), and no other monoplacophoran was listed under this station (which indicates that the species was not mixed). It seems necessary to restrict the type locality to Station 179. The holotype was thus found at a depth of 4823–4925 m as cited without comments in recent works (e.g., Warén & Hain 1992, Counts 2006, Haszprunar 2008). : Published as part of Schwabe, Enrico, 2008, A summary of reports of abyssal and hadal Monoplacophora and Polyplacophora (Mollusca) *, pp. 205-222 in Zootaxa 1866 on page 207, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183815 : {"references": ["Menzies, R.
