Ophiura (Ophiura) mundata
Description
Ophiura (Ophiura) mundata (Koehler, 1906a) Reports for the Azores:
non Ophioglypha irrorata Lyman, 1878 — $ Koehler 1896b: 241 [misidentification];
Ophioglypha mundata, Koehler, 1906 a— $ Koehler 1909: 153, pl. 27, figs. 7–8;
Ophiura (Ophiuroglypha) mundata (Koehler, 1906a) — Mortensen 1933a: 88–89, figs. 48d–e, pl. 3, figs. 11–12;
Ophiura (Ophiura) mundata (Koehler, 1906a) — Paterson 1985: 127–128, fig. 48; Smirnov et al. 2014: 205;
Ophiura mundata Koehler, 1906 — García-Diez et al. 2005: 49.
Type locality: waters between Canaries and NW Africa.
See: Koehler (1906a: 10–11, pl. 1, figs. 4–6, as Ophioglypha mundata); Paterson (1985).
Occurrence: North Atlantic, from Labrador Basin eastwards to Iceland (Paterson 1985) and south from the Bay of Biscay to Morocco, including the Azores and Canaries (Koehler 1906b, 1909).
Depth: 1,674–4,315 m (Smirnov et al. 2014); AZO: 1,919–4,020 m (Koehler 1909).
Habitat: soft substrates (Koehler 1909).
Remarks: the great similarity between Ophiura mundata and O. irrorata (Lyman, 1878) has led to doubtful identifications (Koehler 1896b), and they have been considered conspecific (Koehler 1914a). A taxonomic revision is needed to clear up the confusion (Paterson 1985).
