Peniagone longipapillata $ Gebruk 2008

Description

Peniagone longipapillata Gebruk, 2008 Reports for the Azores:

Peniagone longipapillata $ Gebruk, 2008: 56–58, figs. 1B, 9–10; Gebruk et al. 2014: 162.

Type locality: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, north of the Azores waters (43°01’N, 28°33’W).

See: Gebruk (2008); Rogacheva et al. (2013: 606–608, figs. 12K–M, 17O, 18F, G, P).

Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north of the Azores (Gebruk 2008) and eastwards to the Whittard Canyon and Porcupine Seabight (Rogacheva et al. 2013).

Depth: 2,272–3,500 m (Rogacheva et al. 2012, 2013); AZO: 2,954–3,050 m (Gebruk 2008).

Habitat: frequent swimmer (benthopelagic; Rogacheva et al. 2013).

Remarks: Gebruk (2008) recently reported specimens belonging to Peniagone longipapillata among the material taken in northern Azorean waters (G.O. Sars, MAR–ECO, sta 40/367: 42°55’N, 30°20’W, 2,954 –2,968 m; sta 46/372: 42°46’N, 29°16’W; 3,005 –3,050 m). This holothurian was observed swimming for the first time by Rogacheva et al. (2012) and classified by these authors as a frequent swimmer, though spending most of its time feeding on the sea floor.
