I doubt it would take more than a couple days of email "leg-work" to get to the bottom of this question and post it in a taxon management plan for all to easily reference in the future.

Perhaps Tor's arm should be twisted, gently. Doesnt he have a fairly extensive description of vent lines on his site? Seems like he may have done some of this legwork in the past already.
I dont mind helping.....after I get internet set up at home, so I'm not interupting my 'work' :-)

Yep, we've got you on the hook for potentially serving on several TMG's for species listed in your app. We are trying to get our act together this week to send stewards a bit more formal welcome into the program. I think we can count on Tor's help as well. What would really be helpful would be info about sampling of vents in the wild. Are animals of this general morphology even known from more than one location? Seems to me if the answer is no, that takes a lot of guesswork out.
