Type locality.
off Languedoc coast, France.
Distribution.
Mediterranean Sea, Azores, and (?) Black Sea; shallow waters.
Remarks.
After Cerianthus membranaceus , this was the second species to be formally described in Ceriantharia . It was first described as an unclassified polyp with some similarities with Hydrozoa and Anthozoa ( Rapp 1829a). Later, it was only characterized as a Ceriantharia by Sars (1857). This species was widely studied by Child (1903a, 1903b, 1904a, 1904b) in a series of experimental studies related to asexual reproduction, behavior, and regeneration of polyps. Carlgren (1912b) presented a detailed redescription of this species and moved it to the genus Pachycerianthus . He described several abnormalities of the species’ anatomy ( Carlgren 1912a), which were attributed to asexual reproduction events that are uncommon in Ceriantharia . After this, several authors reported this species from various regions, including the Black Sea ( Kiseleva 1975). If P. solitarius occurs in the Black Sea, it would show a great tolerance to brackish water. Therefore, specimens recorded in the Black Sea may not be of the same species that inhabits the Mediterranean Sea. However, there are no available specimens for comparison. Wirtz et al. (2003) recorded this species in the Azores, however a more detailed study is needed to understand if this species occurs outside the Mediterranean Sea, or whether the Azores specimens belong to P. solitarius .
