New record, no description, Australian MuseumAM W.53503. The new record is supported by comparative molecular data of Atlantic (Bay of Biscay) Hyalinoecia robusta in the eastern Indian Ocean. Unfortunately a geolocation and depth to substantiate and plot the record in WoRMS is missing from the main text, but the figure 9 map indicates a location south of Indonesia for the record
