GENUS LITHODES LATREILLE, 1806 View in CoL LITHODES MANNINGI MACPHERSON, 1988

Type locality: Caribbean Sea , R / V Oregon II, sta. 10829, 640 m (holotype) and 10611, 777 m (allotype) (see Macpherson, 1988: 62) .

Known range: Caribbean Sea: Barbados, Dominican Republic and French Guiana, from 640 to 777 m (at non-vent, non-seep sites).

Occurrence at vents or seeps: cold seep site of the Barbados Accretionary Prism, south of Barbados ( Macpherson, 1988: 64, 1994a).

Material: Barbados Accretionary Prism, Caribbean Sea, south of Barbados; 11°13′82″N, 59°21′82″W; 1236 m; DIAPISUB Expedition sta. DS16/7; 8 January 1993; MNHN (non-type, 1 male) ( Macpherson, 1994a; Chevaldonné & Olu 1996). For additional (nonvent, non-seep) material, see Macpherson (1988: 62– 64).

Remarks: Chevaldonné & Olu (1996) noted that the two species of lithodids found at seeps in Monterey Bay were tentatively assigned to this genus by J. Barry; these were referred to later by Barry et al. (1996) as L aequispina ? and L. couesi ?, obviously somewhat tentatively.
