Status Anderson (2016: p. 484) stated that "it seems unlikely now that P. rigidum (or P. zelandiae) are valid species, especially given the intensity of sampling of deep sea benthic habitat around New Zealand in the 130 years since the Challenger’s visit." He implies that P. rigidum may be a name based on small specimens of P. bursarium, but no formal synonymization is proposed. [details]
