Status This names appears as "P. affinis ?,1???" in Hansson's 2001 checklist on European Echinoderms and comes from a list of Canarian echinoderms sent to him via email by M. Garrido. Despite intense research the origin of the name could not be found. It does not appear in any monograph or other publication consulted and likely represents just a mistake. [details]
