Syntype BMNH 1908.2.5.113 &114, geounit Ross Sea [details]
From editor or global species database
Synonymy The variety was described by Kirkpatrick from Winter Quarters, Antarctic, approximate coordinates 77.8333°S 166°E, depth 238 m (syntypes BMNH 1908.2.5.113–114). The variety differs from the typical variety described by Ridley & Dendy (1887: 199, pl. XLI fig. 3, from the region between Kerguelen and Heard Island, Challenger Exped. Stat.150, 52.0667°S 71.3667°E, depth 274 m, holotype BMNH 1887.5.2.86) in the greater thickness of the spicules (>20 μm vs. up to 15 μm in the typical variety) and having ‘stellar’ oscules vs. rounded oscules in the type. These differences appear quite small (Hentschel complained he could not see the ‘stellate’ oscules, Burton only listed the variety from South Georgia). For the time being Van Soest (2024: 89) proposed to merge the varieties into a single species, to be named
Suberites microstomus Ridley & Dendy, 1887. [details]
