Sergia ?robusta - Guadeloupe (first record?), Karubenthos II 2015, field det. J. Poupin [To be checked with Vereshchaka, 1994: 75, key; S. grandis possible also], st. CP4524, 10 June 2015, 16°30.17'N, 61°42.4'W, 550-500 m, MNHN-IU-2013-18802.
Comment: Photograph of Karubenthos specimen attributed with hesitation to S. robusta. The shape of its rostrum matches well that illustrated in Perez Farfante & Kensley (1997: 198, fig. 140). However, Sergia grandis (Sund, 1920) can be also considered. This must be checked with the specimen and Vereshchaka (1994: 75) key.
