Ophiactis canotia Lyman, 1879

Reports for the Azores:

Ophiactis canotia $ Lyman, 1879: 40–41 , pl. 13, figs. 353–355, 1882: 119–120, pl. 19, figs. 16–18; $ H.L. Clark 1915: 260; H.L. Clark 1918: 305; Mortensen 1927a: 199, 1933a: 48–49, fig. 29; $ Downey 1969: 84.

Type locality: Azores (38°30’N, 31°14’W) GoogleMaps .

See: Lyman (1882).

Occurrence: known only from the type material collected in the Azores ( Lyman 1882).

Depth: 1,830 m ( AZO; Lyman 1882).

Habitat: soft bottoms ( Globigerina ooze; Lyman 1882).

Remarks: Ophiactis canotia is only known from two specimens described by Lyman (1879) collected at one station in the Azores (H.M.S. Challenger, sta 73). This species is quite close to another deep-water species native to the Azores, O. abyssicola (only distinguished on the basis of dorsal plates outline) and might prove to be conspecific ( Mortensen 1933a).
