Erroneous— Pteraster alveolatus Perrier, 1894

Reports for the Azores:

Pteraster alveolatus Perrier, 1894: 183–184, pl. 13, fig. 1; Mortensen 1927a: 102; Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972: 380; A.M. Clark & Downey 1992: 327, figs. 51a–e; Dilman 2014: 36.

Type locality: between the Azores and European continental shores (42°19’N, 21°15’46”W) .

See: A.M. Clark & Downey (1992).

Occurrence: known only from the type locality (Clark & Downey 1992).

Depth: 4,060 m (Perrier 1894).

Habitat: soft sediments (ooze; Perrier 1894).

Remarks: Perrier (1894) described Pteraster alveolatus based on a specimen collected by Talisman NE of the Azores. At the time, Perrier attributed this species to the Azores fauna, disregarding the true location of the station, a mistake repeated in subsequent literature.
