Collection sites. Seukundo, Klah, Ug Bau, Seulakoe, Sabang 

 Bay, Ug Murung and Ug Seukundo, Pula We, Sumatra. 



HABITATS and depth RANGE. Subtidal rock/coral, coral reef, soft 

 coral; 2-30m. 



Comment. Rowe et al. (1986) do not record this species from 

 Indonesia, although it was recorded from Papua New Guinea by 

 Messing ( 1994); therefore this collection fills in the gap between the 

 Andaman Islands and the Philippines. 



Collection sites. Chetlat I., Laccadive Islands; Klah and 

 Seukundo, Pula We, Sumatra. 



Habitat and depth range. Coral reef; 4-8m. 



Comment. Even though two of the three specimens are frag- 

 mented, they are easily identifiable as this widely-distributed 

 Indo-Pacific species.

Habitat and depth. Subtidal rock and sand; 25m. 



COMMENT. Clark & Rowe (1971) implied that the main key char- 

 acteristic of D. brevicirra, the similarity in segment numbers in P 

 and P,, distinguishing this species from its congeners D. mylitta 

 (A.H. Clark, 1912) andD. chadwicki (A.H. Clark, 191 1), would not 

 'hold good' when more specimens from the type locality, the Bay of 

 Bengal, had been collected. This specimen, from Sumatra, clearly 

 has 10 segments on both proximal pinnules. It differs from the other 

 specimen of this genus collected in the same area, which clearly keys 

 out to D. parva (below) on the basis of having a higher cirrus 

 segment number. It may be time for a thorough re-examination of the 

 genus, as there are doubtless more records than there were in 1971.
