Sicyonia dorsalis Kingsley
Sicyonia dorsalis Kingsley, 1878:97.—Williams 1965b: 37, fig. 28.
TYPE-LOCALITY.—Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas, Florida.
DISTRIBUTION.—North Carolina and Gulf of Mexico to French Guiana; to a depth of 420 meters. Apparently this species has not yet been reliably recorded from any of the West Indian islands; the West Indian specimens that have been verified are referable to S. stimpsoni.
*16. Sicyonia laevigata Stimpson
Sicyonia laevigata Stimpson, 1871:131.—Williams 1965b: 33, figs. 22, 23.
MATERIAL.—Bahía de la Ascensión (Sta. 85–60: 1 ).
HABITAT.—The single specimen presumably came from a tide pool or from rocks near low-tide level.
TYPE-LOCALITY.—Charleston, South Carolina.
DISTRIBUTION.—North Carolina and Gulf of Mexico to Brazil; to a depth of 90 meters. Also Pacific coast of Panama.
*17. Sicyonia parri (Burkenroad)
Eusicyonia parri Burkenroad, 1934a: 80, fig. 22.
Sicyonia parri.—Williams 1965b: 34, fig. 24.
MATERIAL.—Tortola (Sta. 23–58: 1 ).—Barbuda (Sta. 108–58: 1 ).—Dominica (Sta. 52–56: 1 ; Sta. 75–59: ly ).—Saint Lucia Island (Sta. 64–59; 1 ).—Tobago (Sta. 20–59: 1 ).
HABITAT.—One of the specimens listed above was found among boulders and dead coral heads just offshore in little more than 1 foot of water, but most of the material was seined or dredged in from less than 1 to 20 meters, especially on bottoms of sand and mud with turtle grass.
TYPE-LOCALITY.—Crooked Island, Bahamas.
DISTRIBUTION.—North Carolina, Florida, and West Indies to Brazil; to a depth of 30 meters.
