Etymology Named after Dr. Natalia Yu. Dnestrovkaja [details]
Status Chávez-López et al (2025) reject the synonymy of Anobothrus nataliae to Anobothrus paleatus Hilbig, 2000. They state that: "The case of A. nataliae is unique. The holotype and three paratypes were collected in Peru at 891 m depth, while 14 more paratypes were collected in the Yellow Sea at 7–45 m depth (Jirkov 2009: 126). Based on these significant differences in location and depth, it is doubtful that the specimens from Peru and the Yellow Sea belong to the same species. The original description of A. nataliae appears to have been made using all specimens, as it includes ranges of variation, such as the number of paleae (‘22–27 pairs, 25 in holotype’, Jirkov 2009:126). Consequently, identifying morphological differences between the Peruvian and Yellow Sea specimens is challenging, at least until the type material is redescribed. Imajima et al. (2013: 147–148) stated that A. nataliae has papillated rather than smooth tentacles based on their re-examination of the holotype and three paratypes from Peru (specimens held at the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia). Considering this, A. nataliae differs primarily from A. paleatus in having ‘a pair of long nephridial papillae’, papillated tentacles and thoracic uncini with 7 denticles in lateral view (Jirkov 2009)."
