Description

Aceste bellidifera Thomson, 1877 Reports for the Azores:

Aceste bellidifera Thomson, 1877 — $ Koehler 1909: 246–247; Mortensen 1927a: 321; García-Diez et al. 2005: 51; Mironov 2006: 115, 2014: 127.

Type locality: off Gomera Island, Canaries.

See: Thomson (1877: 349–351, figs. 95–96); Mortensen (1950: 332–333, figs. 224, 225).

Occurrence: Atlantic, in the west recorded from the USA (c. 37°N) and the Caribbean to southern America, and Tristan da Cunha (Agassiz 1881, Serafy & Fell 1985, Mironov 2014); in the east recorded from the Iberian Basin (Mironov 2014), Morocco (Mortensen 1927b), Josephine Seamount (Mironov 2006), the Azores (Koehler 1909) and Canaries (Thomson 1877).

Depth: 550– 5,400 m (Serafy & Fell 1985, Mironov 2014); AZO: 1,360 m (Koehler 1909).

Habitat: buried on soft substrates, mud to sandy mud and shells (Agassiz 1881, Pawson & Pawson 2013).

Remarks: the record of Aceste bellidifera in the Azores is based on a single small specimen (= 14 mm TL) identified by Koehler (1909) among the material collected by Princesse Alice (sta 703: 39°21’20”N, 31°05’45”W, 1,360 m).
