| Summary: | Ophiactis nidarosiensis ? Mortensen, 1920 Reports for the Azores: non Ophiactis hirta Lyman, 1879 —? $ Koehler 1909: 171 [misidentification]. Type locality: Trondhjemfjord, Norway. See: Mortensen (1920: 60–63, fig. 5; 1933b: 346–347, fig. 58a). Occurrence: recorded from the Scandinavia, Iceland, southern Africa, off Gough Island (Tristan da Cunha, S Atlantic) and?Azores (Mortensen 1920, 1933a, 1936). Depth: 102–560 m (Mortensen 1933a, 1936); AZO:? 1,095 m (Koehler 1909). Habitat: ?volcanic sand (AZO; Koehler 1909). Larval stage: unknown; also reproduces asexually through fission (Mortensen 1920). Remarks: Koehler (1909) described a small six-armed specimen collected by Princesse Alice in Azorean waters (sta 1344: 38°45’30”N, 28°7’45”W, 1,095 m) as distinct from the type material of Ophiactis hirta collected by Lyman (1879, H.M.S. Challenger ) in the Pacific, but not enough to consider it a different species. H.L. Clark (1918) suggested this specimen might represent a juvenile stage of Ophiactis abyssicola , ... : 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 25, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4639.1, http://zenodo.org/record/3342161 ... |
