Paralithodes BRANDT 1848

Description

GENUS PARALITHODES BRANDT, 1848

Remarks: The genus Paralithodes is a fairly widespread and commonly encountered deep-sea genus of lithodids. According to Chevaldonné & Olu (1996), Sagalevich et al. (1992) reported Paralithodes sp. from 350–400 m ‘on the periphery of active hydrothermal vents on the summit of Piip Volcano, in the Bering Sea, on dense populations of actinians’ (Chevaldonné & Olu, 1996: 287). The observations were made using a submersible, and to our knowledge no specimens were collected. This is the basis for our listing of Paralithodes sp. in Table 1.
