Abraliopsis lineata (Goodrich, 1896)
ORIGINAL REFERENCE.—Abralia lineata Goodrich, 1896:10, pl. 3: figs. 46–50.
DEPOSITION OF TYPES.—Holotype: IMC, male, 15 mm ML, R/V Investigator, Andaman Sea, poor condition.
Paratypes: IMC, female, ML unknown, R/V Investigator, off Ganjan (?India, Bay of Bengal), not extant.
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION.—Indian Ocean.
COMMENTS.—G. Voss (unpublished) examined the holotype and found it similar to A. gilchristi; however, most specific characters could not be determined from the type. Tsuchiya et al. (1991) were able to redescribe A. lineata on the basis of new material from the Arabian Sea, and they agree that its closest relative is A. gilchristi.
