Abstract: This is the nineteenth paper in the 'Littoral and benthic investigations on the west coast of Ireland' series and studies the distribution and life style of the holothurian Aslia lefevrei around Ireland. It was found predominantly on the west coast of Ireland (including the northwest and southwest) but populations were also found in the south. Its synonymy through the years is reviewed, and its diagnostic morphology is considered with respect to specimens on the west coast of Ireland.
