description: <i>Lanceola clausi pirloti</i> (Shoemaker) (Fig. 9) <i>Lanceola pirloti</i> Shoemaker, 1945: 212, figs 19, 20. Shih &amp; Chen 1995: 32–34,fig. 16. <i>Lanceola clausi pirloti</i> Vinogradov 1960a: 207; 1964: 112. Vinogradov <i>et al</i>. 1982: 70–71, fig. 17. <b>Type material.</b> Shoemaker (1945) described his species form six specimens collected near Bermuda at depths between 700 and 1000 fathoms. The USNM has three syntypes; two males (109467 &amp; 9) and one female (109468). The whereabouts of the other three specimens is unknown. <b>Material examined.</b> <i>Types</i>. Syntype female (USNM 109468) and two syntype males (USNM 109467 &amp; 9) from the North Atlantic, near Bermuda [32º12’N 64º36’W]; William Beebe Oceanographic Expedition, 13 Jul. 1929 and 7 &amp; 29 Sept. 1930 respectively: in spirit. <b>Other material examined. Central South Pacific</b>: Female (ZMUC CRU-9920); S. of Tahiti [18º49’S 153º10’W]; <i>Dana</i> Stn. 3577 VII, 4000 mw, 19 Oct. 1928. Male (ZMUC); N. of New Zealand [28º17.6’S 177º01’E]; <i>Dana</i> Stn. 3624 III, 3000 mw, 10 Dec. 1928. <b>Diagnosis.</b> Like typical form except for the following. Length of sexually mature specimens 12–16 mm. Antennae 2 are relatively shorter, often subequal in length to A1. Gnathopoda and P3 &amp; 4 have more robust articles. Gnathopod 1; basis especially broad with distinct anterior bulge. Pereopods 3 &amp; 4 with shorter and wider merus, also propodus is shorter than carpus. Pereopods 5 &amp; 6 are relatively longer. Pereopods 6 &amp; 7 with relatively longer propodus. <b>Remarks.</b> Described as a species distinct from <i>L. clausi</i> by Shoemaker (1945), the above differences are sometimes intermediate between <i>L. clausi</i> and <i>L. pirloti</i>. Thus, I concur with Vinogradov <i>et al</i>. (1982) in that <i>L. pirloti</i> should be considered a subspecies of the highly variable <i>L. clausi</i>. <b>Distribution.</b> This subspecies has been recorded from the North Atlantic, near Bermuda [32º12’N 54º36’W] by Shoemaker (1945); the North-west Pacific, south of Japan by Vinogradov (1960a) and from the South China Sea by Shih and Chen (1995) and the Indian Ocean [01º59.1’S 86º41.4’E and 26º45.7’S 108º18.6É] by Vinogradov (1964). The <i>Dana</i> specimens are the first records from the central South Pacific.
