Description
Summary:Genus Branchiomma Kölliker, 1858 Branchiomma coheni Tovar-Hernández and Knight-Jones, 2006: 24 –27, Fig. 6 A–M, 8 A, 9 E–G, 10 D, 11 C. Examined material. Tampa Bay, Florida, coordinates 27 ° 53 ’ 07.4" N, 82 ° 32 ’ 02.7" W (4 specimens). One specimen is from the survey of 2012 and 3 are from 2014 from the same site of 2012, nevertheless the site numbers are different numbers due to the different years, and are from 2 different plates. Site 2118 (2012): plate 15009: vial # 168941 (1 specimen). Site 2240 (2014): Plate 16838: Vial #: 158629 (1 specimen), 199914 (1 specimen); Plate 16829: 158394 (1 specimen). Some tissue was collected from 2 specimens and preserved in 95 Ethanol for possible molecular analysis (158629 and 158394) in order to have the same organism for both the analysis. The four specimens are listed in Table 1 with some size measures and observations on reproductive biology. Comparative additional material.
