Ophiactis tyleri Stöhr & Segonzac, 2005 Reports for the Azores: Ophiactis tyleri $ St̂hr & Segonzac, 2005: 397–398, fig. 9; $ Desbruyères et al . 2006: 482, figs. 1–3. Type locality: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Azores (38°18’58”N, 30°40’32”W). See: St̂hr & Segonzac (2005); Desbruyères et al . (2006). Occurrence: known only from Azorean waters, namely the Menez Gwen hydrothermal fields (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005). Depth: 842–844 m (AZO; St̂hr & Segonzac 2005). Habitat: hard substrates; can be found at hydrothermal vents (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005). Larval stage: unknown; also reproduces asexually fission (Desbruyères et al . 2006). Remarks: Ophiactis tyleri is relatively recently described species known only from two specimens collected at two stations in the Azores deep waters by DIVANAUT 1 cruise. Though not restricted chemosynthetic environments, O. tyleri is the first Ophiactis species to be recorded from hydrothermal vents (St̂hr & Segonzac 2005; see remarks under Ophioctenella acies ). : 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 : {"references": ["St \u02c6 hr, S. & Segonzac, M.
