Benthodytes janthina Marenzeller, 1892 Reports for the Azores: Benthodytes janthina $ Marenzeller, 1892: 66, 1893: 10–11, pl. 1, fig. 3, pl. 2, fig. 4; Perrier 1902: 275; Mortensen 1927a: 373; García-Diez et al . 2005: 52. Type locality: North of the Azores (41°40’41”N, 26°44’09”W). See: Marenzeller (1893). Occurrence: known only from the type specimen collected in the northern waters of the Azores. Depth: 2,870 m (AZO; Marenzeller 1893). Habitat: soft bottoms (clayish sand; Marenzeller 1893).
