Comitas kirai Powell, 1969 (Fig. 9C) Comitas kirai Powell, 1969: 279, 280, pl. 223 figs. 4–6 (type locality: Kii, Japan); Hasegawa et al., 2000: 633, pl. 315 fig. 71; Hasegawa & Okutani, 2011: 125. Material examined. SJADES 2018: 11 dd (SL 22.5–41.7 mm), stn. CP20, 325– 362 m; 1 dd (SL 43.6 mm), stn. CP45, 684– 851 m. Remarks. This is a new record for Indonesia, and constitutes a significant range extension for a species previously known only from Japan and Pratas Islands in the South China Sea, in depths ranging from 50 to 700 m (Powell, 1969; Hasegawa et al., 2000; Hasegawa & Okutani, 2011). It is generally rare in the sampled area, although several specimens were recovered in one haul.
