Summary: | The adult male and female of Leptostylis vemae Bacescu-Mester, 1967 are described and illustrated. This species is transferred to the genus Ekleptostylis Stebbing, 1912 and the description of Ekleptostylis heardi McLelland and Meyer, 1998 is emended. Both species were found in the Magellan Strait, Beagle Channel, Drake Passage and off Argentina. In addition, E. vemae was found off Uruguay. Diastylis pseudinornata Ledoyer, 1977 from the Kerguelen Islands also is transferred to the genus Ekleptostylis, resulting in a total of four species now in this genus. |
