Erroneous— Ophiomusium africanum Koehler, 1909

Reports for the Azores:

Ophiomusium africanum Koehler, 1909 — Paterson 1985: 147, fig. 58.

Type locality: Cape Verde .

See: Koehler (1909: 159–160, pl. 1, fig. 10, pl. 29, figs. 5–6).

Occurrence: known only from the type material collected in archipelago of Cape Verde.

Depth: 219 m.

Habitat: sand and coralline algae.

Remarks: Ophiomusium africanum is known only from type specimen described by Koehler (1909) and collected by Princesse Alice in Cape Verde. Paterson (1985) comment that this species ‘was only recorded from the Azores’ is clearly a mistake.
