Description
Summary:In 22 samples, 6 from Josephine Bank and 16 from the Great Meteor Bank, 14 halacarid species were found and described. Halacarus spiniger n. sp., Copidognathus magniporus n. sp., Arhodeoporus lineatus n. sp., A. brevocularis n. sp., Coloboceras karamani n. sp., Scaptognathus minutus n. sp., and Atelopsalis newelli were hithero unknown. Acaromantis squilla Trouessart & Neumann and Atelopsalis tricuspis Trouessart were redescribed. Four larvae, probably belonging to Copidognathus longips Bartsch, C. tricorneata (Lohmann), Lohmannella falcata (Hodge), and Atelopsalis newelli n. sp. were described, two Scaptognathus larvae could not be identifird. To date only three species, Copidognathus tricorneata, Lohmannella falcata, and Scaptognathus minutus, have been found on both seamounts.
