Phyllodesmium crypticum from NW Australia

Bill,

Is this Phyllodesmium crypticum? I am unfamiliar with this animal and is the
first I have seen, if it is indeed P. crypticum? It is from the Dampier Archipelago.

Cheers,
Clay Bryce

Dear Clay,
I am pretty sure this is Phyllodesmium crypticum. I reported specimens of this species from the Dampier Archipelago in northwestern Australia from your museum collections in my 1991 paper. Before that it was only known from eastern Australia.
