Abstract / Notes
Lurus minos, a new species of the recently erected statocyst-bearing family Luridae, was found in subtidal fine sand off the island of Crete (eastern Mediterrean). Of the four previously known species in the genus, three occur in the western Atlantic (Brazil and North Carolina) and one in Fiji. The new species differs in the sclerotized structures of the reproductive system, and seems most closely related to L. tyndareus from Fiji. The other species discussed are Castor, pollux and evelinae.
