Description
Summary:Neopleustes columbianus Hendrycks & Bousfield, 2004 Figures 1d, 2d, k, r, z, 3c, 4d, 5d, 22 Neopleustes columbianus Hendrycks & Bousfield, 2004: 96–98, fig 27. Paramphithoe pulchella (Krøyer, 1845) (?)—Holmes 1904: 489, pl. 8, fig. 1. Distribution: Known from Pacific coast of Northern America from South-Eastern Alaska to southern British Columbia in depth range of 7–71 m on mud (Hendrycks & Bousfield 2004). Remarks. Perhaps this species includes individuals from the north-eastern coast of North America (Grand Manan Island, Fundy Bay), which were identified by Holmes (1904) as Paramphithoe pulchella (Krøyer, 1845). Exemplars from Fundy Bay are close in morphology to N. columbianus (especially in dorsal carination) (Holmes, 1904: pl. 8, fig. 1), but differ from the typical description of Krøyer (1845) and Sars (1895) (Fig. 18). However, the lack of own description in Holmes (1904) does not allow us to precisely state this.
