A re-description of the little-known holothurian species Holothuria (Lessonothuria) lineata Ludwig, 1875 is given. It is based on the single recovered type specimen and an individual recently collected on Glorioso Islands, near Madagascar. A key to separate three closely related and commonly confused species, i.e., Holothuria (Lessonothuria) pardalis Selenka, 1867, Holothuria (Lessenothuria) verrucosa Selenka, 1867 and Holothuria (Lessonothuria) insignis Ludwig, 1875, is presented.
对鲜为人知的海参物种——1875年路德维希命名的线纹海参(Holothuria (Lessonothuria) lineata)进行了重新描述。该描述基于唯一找回的模式标本以及最近在马达加斯加附近的格洛里厄斯群岛采集到的一个个体。还给出了一个用于区分三个密切相关且常被混淆的物种的检索表,这三个物种分别是1867年塞伦卡命名的豹纹海参(Holothuria (Lessonothuria) pardalis)、1867年塞伦卡命名的疣海参(Holothuria (Lessenothuria) verrucosa)以及1875年路德维希命名的无斑海参(Holothuria (Lessonothuria) insignis)。
