| Summary: | Leptosynapta inhaerens (Müller, 1776) Reports for the Azores: Leptosynapta inhaerens (M̹ller, 1776)— $ Wirtz 2009: 48, fig. 1e. Type locality: Norway. See: Tortonese (1965: 104–105, fig. 45); Picton (1993: 82–83). Occurrence: Mediterranean Sea and Northeast Atlantic; from Scandinavian arctic waters south along European coasts (Tortonese 1965) to the Azores (Wirtz 2009) and Canaries (Pérez-Ruzafa et al . 1992a). Depth: 0–173 m, mostly between the first few meters and 50 m deep (Pérez-Ruzafa et al . 1992a); also found in tide-pools (AZO; Wirtz 2009). Habitat: soft sediments buried in muddy sand or gravel, and amongst Zostera and Caulerpa and in sandy tide pools (Picton 1993, Pérez-Ruzafa et al . 1992a). Larval stage: Planktotrophic, hermaphroditic (Mortensen 1927 a, McEdward & Miner 2001). Remarks: recently, Wirtz (2009) discovered small specimens belonging to Leptosynapta inhaerens in tidepools in Faial Island, turning the archipelago to the westernmost limit for this species. ... : 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 pages 135-136, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4639.1, http://zenodo.org/record/3342161 ... |
