Type locality: Azores (38°26’N, 26°30’45”W). See: Koehler (1896b); Bartsch (1987: 122–123, figs. 20–21); Paterson (1985). Occurrence: North Atlantic, from Florida eastwards from Rockall to Western Sahara, including the Azores (Paterson 1985). Depth: 500– 3,175 m (Koehler 1914 a, Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972); AZO: 1,165 –1,378 m (Koehler 1909, 1921a). Habitat: soft sediments, sand with coral and shells (Koehler 1914a). Remarks: Koehler (1896b, 1909) described Ophiacantha lineata based on specimens collected in the Azores by Princesse Alice (sta 578: 38°26’N, 26°30’45”W, 1,165 m). Koehler (1921a) found further material from the archipelago on a later expedition by Hirondelle II (sta 3140: 37°38’N, 26°01’W, 1,378 m). No other material is known from the archipelago.
