Summary: | Taxon classification Animalia Amphipoda Scopelocheiridae Paracallisoma abyssi (Oldevig, 1959) Figure 21 Scopelocheirus abyssi Oldevig, 1959: 16, figs 1-3. - Barnard and Karaman 1991: 528. - Vinogradov et al. 1996: 8. - Brandt 1997: 1540 (table 2). Paracallisoma abyssi. - Horton 2006: 20, table 2. - Horton et al. 2013: 354. Type material. Syntypes, (24 specimens, maximum length about 15 mm), Stockholm Museum. Type locality. Swedish Deep (77°39'N, 1°17'E), 3200 m, Biloculina ooze, -1.4 °C. Depth range. 1525-3200 m (Brandt 1997, Oldevig 1959). Distribution. North Atlantic Ocean. Greenland Sea (Oldevig 1959, Brandt 1997); Norwegian Sea (Vinogradov et al. 1996); Faroe-Shetland Channel (Horton 2006); Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Horton et al. 2013). Ecology. A scavenger, taken in baited traps (Vinogradov et al. 1996, Horton 2006, Horton et al. 2013). Discussion. This is a poorly described and little-sampled species that was originally described in the genus Scopelocheirus. Horton (2006) removed it to Paracallisoma. Horton and Thurston (in prep.) have new material of this species and are in the process of re-describing it. : Published as part of Kilgallen, Niamh M. & Lowry, James K., 2015, A review of the scopelocheirid amphipods (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Lysianassoidea), with the description of new taxa from Australian waters, pp. 1-43 in Zoosystematics and Evolution 91 (1) on page 1, DOI: 10.3897/zse.91.8440 |
