Socotra: four specimens 15-20 mm preserved lengths (IT-157, RJ-011), 12°18.698'N, 53°48.285'E, 09 April 1999, leg. R Janssen.
Description/Distribution
Preserved specimens are similar to previously examined material from the Red Sea, severely contracted into spheres with varying amounts of speckling remaining on different specimens. The species is circumtropical, common where it occurs but not often recorded. Records from the western Indian Ocean are summarized by Bebbington (1974)[5]; there are no new records apart from those from the Red Sea listed above.
