  • Entered into MCZ Catalogue March 1864 as Ilyanthus chloropsis V. Found with unidentified polychaetes, 28.ii.2002. This specimen is may be Verrill's type, but the dimensions are smaller than those given in original description. It is unlikely that the previous identification of the 9 specimens of MCZ No. 1253 as the possible types of I. chloropsis is correct (see letter from J. C. den Hartog, 11.vii.1977).
