| Summary: | Lindia gravitata (Lie-Pettersen, 1905) The specimens seen showed a bit more distinct pseudosegmentation of the body than those used in its redescription (De Smet 2005); habitus and trophi otherwise identical. Males present, similar in habitus to females, but smaller (~150 µm), and without trophi. The species was found in psammon from the Costa Brava, Côte d’Azur, and Tyrrhenian Sea, at 50 m to 3.5 km off shore, and depths varying from 15 up to 30 m; June, July, September, October; water temperature 16−21 °C. Previous records are from the Norwegian Sea at Bergen, Norway (Lie-Pettersen 1905), the North Sea: Kieler Bucht, Germany (Schulz 1936/37), Eastern Scheldt, The Netherlands (De Smet 2005), Tyrrhenian Sea, Elba Island (De Smet 2007), and Skagerrak, Sweden (Willems et al . 2009). Published as part of De Smet, Willem H., 2015, Rotifera from the Mediterranean Sea, with description of ten new species, pp. 151-196 in Zootaxa 4028 (2) on page 189, DOI:10.11646/zootaxa.4028.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/240556 |
