Summary:Homologenus boucheti Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 (Fig. 18B) Homologenus boucheti Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995: 430 (in key), 472, fig. 66b, c, h. HOLOTYPE (by original designation). — MNHN-B22611, North Atlantic Ocean, Ibero-Moroccan Gulf, BALGIM, Cryos, stn CP98, 34°29’N, 07°42’W, 1721-1773 m, 9.VI.1984, ov. ♀ 16.0 × 10.4 mm (14 mm with lateroanterior spines included), 1 P2 and 1 P3 missing. PARATYPES. — MNHN-B22609, BALGIM, stn CP63, 35°31’N, 07°42’W, 1488-1535 m, 4.VI.1984, 2 ♂♂, 1 ov. ♀. — MNHN-B22605, same cruise, stn CP68, 35°12’N, 07°53’W, 1998-2077 m, 5.VI.1984, 2 ♀♀ (1 ov.). — MNHN-B22608, same cruise, stn DW88, 34°20’N, 07°19’W, 738-742 m, 7.VI.1984, 3 ♂♂. — MNHN-B22606, same data as holotype, 3 ♂♂, 2 ov. ♀♀. — MNHN-B22602, same cruise, stn CP99, 34°28’N, 07°43’W, 1848-1892 m, 9.VI.1984, 5 ♂♂, one with carapace badly damaged 1 ♀, 2 ov. ♀♀ (4 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, 2 ov. ♀♀ in Guinot & Richer de Forges 1995). REMARKS The Blake specimen described as Homolopsis rostratus by A. Milne-Edwards (1880: 34) (at present Homologenus rostratus; holotype ♂ in MCZ) does not belong to the same species as the specimen figured by A. Milne-Edwards (1883: pl. 6, fig. 1, 1a) under the same name. This latter specimen collected from Morocco corresponds to H. boucheti. The eastern Atlantic specimens collected by the Princesse-Alice and both the Travailleur and the Talisman (A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier 1899, 1900) have to be assigned to Homologenus boucheti, while H. rostratus is restricted to the western Atlantic (Guinot &Richer de Forges 1995; Forest & Holthuis 1997).
