Designation of a neotype for the dendrochirotid holothuroid, Thyone fusus (Mller) (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea: Dendrochirotida: Thyonidae).

Arumugam-Moonilal P , Thandar AS .


Abstract
The genus Thyone Oken, 1815 is complex, and has even been called a supergenus, which currently contains 67 nominal species (WoRMS, 2023) and is urgently in need of revision. This contribution provides an accurate description of the here designated neotype and as such, it brings clarity to the taxonomic definition of the type species of the genus: the previously poorly understood Thyone fusus.
