Propeamussium andamanicum (Smith, 1894) Amussium andamanicum Smith, 1894: 172, pl. 5, figs 13-14. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — The type material (see Dijkstra 1995: m, 38 spms. — BORDAU 1: stn CP 1398, 16˚22’S, 179˚56’W, 15, figs 138-142). 907-912 m, 3 spms; stn CP 1458, 17˚22’S, 179˚28’W, 1216- Fiji. MUSORSTOM 10: stn CP 1354, 17˚42.6’S, 178˚55.0’E, 959- 1226 m, 21 spms. 963 m, 85 spms; stn CP 1361, 18˚00.0’S, 178˚53.7’E, 1058-1091 DISTRIBUTION. — Zanzibar area, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Laccadive Sea, Andaman Sea, New Caledonia (Dijkstra 1995: 15), Wallis and Futuna and Vanuatu (Dijkstra 2001: 75); live in 956-2000 m.
