Penilpidia midatlantica $ Gebruk 2008

Description

Penilpidia midatlantica Gebruk, 2008 Reports for the Azores:

Penilpidia midatlantica $ Gebruk, 2008: 52–54, figs. 4–6; Rogacheva et al. 2013: 610–611.

Type locality: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Azores (42°48’N, 29°38’W).

See: Gebruk (2008).

Occurrence: known only from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, from SE of the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone (Rogacheva et al. 2013) south to the Azores (Gebruk 2008).

Depth: 2,063 –2,750 m (Gebruk 2008, Rogacheva et al. 2013); AZO: 2,063 –2,107 m (Gebruk 2008).

Habitat: a probable benthopelagic species (Rogacheva et al. 2012).

Remarks: Gebruk (2008) described Penilpidia midatlantica based on material collected in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, in the northern waters of the Azores EEZ (G.O. Sars, MAR–ECO cruise, sta 42/368: 42°48’N, 29°38’W, 2,063 –2,107 m). Additionally, on reviewing the genus Penilpidia with a redescription of its type species P. ludwigi (Marenzeller, 1893), Gebruk et al. (2013) recently concluded that due to differences in ossicles composition and morphology, P. midatlantica should be assigned to a new genus.
