Distribution and ecology . Fageapseudes retusifrons is known from the Gulf of Cadiz (Błażewicz- Paszkowycz et al . 2011), straits of Gibraltar (Norman & Stebbing 1886) and Mediterranean Sea (Băcescu & Guţu 1971). Previous records situate F. retusifrons in muddy bottoms between 220 to 740 m depth. In the GoC, the species has been found between 350 and 700 m depth in the craters of Mercator and Fiuza MVs in carbonate mounds and muddy sediments. In Kidd MV, it appeared in samples from the flanks and a reference site near Kidd MV but not in the crater (see Błażewicz-Paszkowycz et al . 2011). The densities found in the MVs of the GoC are greatly variable, ranging for example from only one specimen to 256 individuals.m - 2 in the crater of Mercator MV. : Published as part of Esquete, P. & Cunha, M.
