Amphiura richardi $ Koehler 1896
Description
Amphiura richardi Koehler, 1896b Reports for the Azores:
Amphiura richardi $ Koehler, 1896b: 245–246, 1909: 178–179, pl. 27, figs. 1–2; Mortensen 1927a: 209; García-Diez et al. 2005: 49.
Type locality: Azores (38°26’00”N, 26°30’45”W).
See: Koehler (1909); Paterson (1985: 88).
Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic; a rare species known from the Bay of Biscay (Cherbonnier 1970) to the Azores (Koehler 1909) and? Canary Islands (Paterson 1985).
Depth: 850– 1,494 m (Koehler 1909, Cherbonnier 1970); AZO: 1,165 –1,494 m (Koehler 1909).
Habitat: soft to hard substrate (Koehler 1909).
Remarks: based on Talisman and Travailleur historical reports (e.g. Koehler 1906b, Perrier 1894), Paterson (1985) record of A. richardi from the Moroccan waters is erroneous, likely due to mislabelling. We believe that Paterson examined the same specimen reported by Koehler (1896b) from Bay of Biscay (Travailleur, sta 39, 1881: 44°05’N, 7°05’26”W). In contrast, we could not trace the original material on which Paterson (1985) based his record from the Canaries.
