Halirages caecus Kamenskaya 1980

Description

Halirages caecus Kamenskaya, 1980

The original spelling Halirages caecum, given by Kamenskaya (1980), has to be changed into H. caecus because Halirages is masculine and caecus, -a, -um is an adjective. Arctic Ocean, 'Drifting Station North Pole 22', stn 10, 81°44'N 121°46'W, 3467 m; stn 14, 81°42'N 126°51'W, 3530 m; stn 29, coordinates missing, 2910- 2630 m; stn 34, 79°02'N 127°39'W (including holotype), 3290 m; stn 50, 78°45'N 127°36'W, 2990- 2950 m; stn 53, 78°10'N 130°00'W, 2810 m. The table of stations provided by Kamenskaya (1980) indicates that all the stations of the drifting station North Pole 22 are in East longitudes. However, this is clearly a mistake and all these stations were actually in West longitudes. Indeed, Kamenskaya (1980) indicates that her stations are located in the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean, which only fits with West longitudes. Kamenskaya (2001) refers both to positions equivalent to West longitudes (with an unusual coding system) and the Canadian Basin for the same stations. Finally the stations of the drifting station North Pole 22 are plotted on fig. 2 of Afanas'ev and Filatova (1980) and their positions are indeed in the Canadian Basin, which confirms they are in West longitudes.
