Mayotte data
Thalamita pseudospinifera Crosnier, 1975: 715, fig. 1 b, 2 f-i, 3 c-d, Glorieuses, dredge 30 m, January 1973, C. Jouannic coll., 1 M 8.7 x 12.7 mm MNHN IU 2014-7853, 1 F 6.0 x 8.6 mm, MNHN IU 2014-7854 — WIO, only Glorieuses, 30 m — It seems that this species has never been reported formally since its description. In Internet GBIF dataset a georeferenced record (SMF collections) of T. pseudospinifera is however indicated from Japan indicating that the species has perhaps a large distribution in IWP. HD photographs of the type specimens are available in MNHN-Collection (2018).
