Description
Summary:Genus Collettea Lang, 1973 Strongylura G.O. Sars, 1882 Remarks . Collettea is an increasingly species-rich genus with 24 described species (Table 2) at this time (WoRMS 2019), although it is likely to be polyphyletic (see also Błażewicz-Paszkowycz & Larsen 2005). The most recent key to the species is by Wi et al (2015: 715). Using this, the new species described below would fail at couplet ‘3’ (its body proportions fall between the two values) or key to Collettea lilliputa Błażewicz-Paszkowycz & Larsen, 2005 that was described from the abyssal Weddell Sea.
