[Cnidaria] Kamakichi Kishnouye, types (?)

[Bastian Bentlage]

Dear all,

Once more I have a question for the community of cnidariologists. I was able to obtain some cubozoan specimens from Japan and believe that Kishnouye was on to something when he described Tamoya virulenta and Carybdea mora. His descriptions were not very detailed and thus his species were disregarded. His plates don't seem to bear much detail either and he was not very explicit as to which material he examined.

Does anyone know if Kishnouye actually deposited type specimens for any of the species he described somewhere? If he did that might be the place to start looking for more of his material.

Thanks!
