Summary: | Bathypallenopsis guineensis (Stock, 1974) Pallenopsis (Bathypallenopsis) guineensis Stock, 1974, 1049 –1050; fig. 40. Bamber & Thurston, 1995, 135 (in key), 139. Bathypallenopsis guineensis Bamber, 2010, 176–177; fig. 212. Material. Solomon Islands: 1 specimen (MNHN-IU-2007-4734), station CP2219, 07°50.3’S 157°34.4’E, XI 2004, depth 650– 636 m, New Georgia. 2 specimens (MNHN-IU-2007-4735), station CP2248, 07°42.5’S 156°24.8’E, 0 1 XI 2004, depth 650–673 m, Ile Salomon. All Bouchet, Warén & Samedi-IRD coll. Remarks. Bathypallenopsis guineensis is a rarely-recorded deep-sea species, known previously only from Gulf of Guinea (type-locality) at 1949–1986 m depth, and in the north-east Atlantic at 1484–4320 m depth (Stock, 1974; Bamber & Thurston, 1995). These first records for the Melanesian region (and indeed the first for the Pacific Ocean) are from shallower waters, at 650– 673 m. Published as part of Bamber, Roger N, 2011, The male of Ascorhynchus constrictus Stock, 1997 (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida), with further new records of deep-sea pycnogonids from New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, pp. 55-67 in Zootaxa 2787 on page 64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.201969 |
