Clark 1915: 230; Mortensen 1927a: 209; Paterson 1985: 86–87, fig. 33; García-Diez et al . 2005: 49; Smirnov et al . 2014: 200; Amphiura grandis Koehler, 1906b: 277–278; $ Koehler 1909: 175–177, pl. 27, figs. 3–4; Mortensen 1927a: 208–209. Type locality: Portugal. See: Ljungman (1872: 631–632); Paterson (1985); Benavides-Serrato et al . (2011: 291). Occurrence: North Atlantic, in the west from Labrador Basin to Caribbean Sea (Paterson 1985) and in the east from Iceland (Mortensen 1933a) to the West African coasts, including the Azores (Koehler 1906b, 1909). Depth: 198– 3,200 m (Smirnov et al . 2014); AZO: 1,647 –1,900 m (Lyman 1882, Koehler 1909). Habitat: soft sediments, mud to ooze (Lyman 1882). Remarks: in the first report of Amphiura otteri from the archipelago, Lyman (1882) regarded this species as doubtful. H.L. Clark (1915) re-examined Lyman's specimens and confirmed his identification. ... : Published as part of Madeira, Patrícia, Kroh, Andreas, Cordeiro, Ricardo, De, António M., Martins, Frias & Ávila, Sérgio P., 2019, The Echinoderm Fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic Ocean), pp. 1-231 in Zootaxa 4639 (1) on page 21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4639.1, http://zenodo.org/record/3342161 ...
