Remarks This minute species, originally described from the Pleistocene of Sicily (see Di Geronimo & La Perna 1997), has been reported from the Canaries (Ortega & Gofas 2019) and from several North Atlantic seamounts including GB (Hoffman & Freiwald 2017). Pseudoglomus pompholyx (Dall, 1890) from the Western Atlantic is superficially very similar, but larger (4 mm) and differs in that the ligament is set in a pit dorsally to the hinge line which remains unaffected (see Ockelmann & Warén 1998 for a good figure), whereas the present species has a resilifer interrupting the hinge. The generic placement could only be ascertained with live-taken specimens.
