GENUS DORHYNCHUS THOMSON, 1873 View in CoL DORHYNCHUS THOMSONI THOMSON, 1873

Type locality: North Atlantic Ocean , between the Faroe Islands and Scotland .

Known range: eastern Atlantic, west and south of Iceland and the Faroes southward to the Cape Verde Islands, 100–2100 m ( Manning & Holthuis, 1981); western and eastern Atlantic and Indian oceans ( Davie, 2002).

Occurrence at vents and seeps: Kermadec Ridge (see below).

Material: The holotype is housed in the BMNH collection. No material was collected from the vent sites of the Kermadec Ridge .

Remarks: Clark & O’Shea (2001) reported this species as Archaeopsis [= Achaeopsis ] thomsoni from the Kermadec Ridge off New Zealand. Poore (2004) noted that species of the genus Dorhychus often have been incorrectly assigned to Archaeopsis , a junior synonym (according to Davie, 2002).
