Cataleptodius floridanus
Cataleptodius aff. floridanus (Gibbes, 1850) Fig. 78 Material examined EQUATORIAL GUINEA − Annobon Island • 1 ♂ (10.5×6.8); depth 10−15 m; Emilio Rolán leg.; MNCN20.04/41941. Remarks The specimens were labelled as “Sin determinar” (undetermined), assigned to Xanthidae and was mixed with specimens of Nanocassiope melanodactylus. Cataleptodius floridanus is an amphiatlantic species, mainly distributed in the West Atlantic. Guinot (1968) referred to the African specimens as C. aff. floridanus, as she considered there were some differences with the American specimens, with the aim of clarifying in the future. For identification, see also Monod (1956), Guinot (1968) and Manning & Holthuis (1981).
