Etymology authors: Escarpia tritentaculata is "Named after the three types of filaments observed on the tentacular plume surrounding the obturacular lobes." [details] Identification Authors: "Genetic data for COI do not differentiate Escarpia tritentaculata sp. nov. from other species in the genus; this lack of distinction of the currently described Escarpia species is well known, however new species have been erected despite this. Only the HbB2 intron distinguishes currently described Escarpia species (Cowart et al. 2013) but MCSC specimens are identical to E. southwardae from near the Congo River Canyon off west Africa for this marker, rather than the geographically much closer species E. laminata. Several sound reasons remain for erecting the new species Escarpia tritentaculata sp. nov.: (1) genetic data suggest reasonable heterogeneity within the group and distinction based on the HbB2 intron is currently uncertain for COI, (2) whereas the MCSC specimens cannot be clearly distinguished based on DNA, the great distance between the MCSC and the Congo River Canyon suggests isolation, perhaps in markers that we have not yet recovered and most importantly, (3) there are clear morphological differences between E. tritentaculata sp. nov. and all the currently described Escarpia species."
