Ophiomitrella clavigera
Description
Erroneous— Ophiomitrella clavigera (Ljungman, 1865) Reports for the Azores:
non Ophiomitrella clavigera (Ljungman, 1864) — Mortensen 1927a: 186–187, fig. 103 [based on invalid synonymy]; Marques 1980: 102 [based on Mortensen 1927a]; Paterson 1985: 71, fig. 28 [based on Mortensen 1927a]; Harvey et al. 1988: 170 [based on Paterson 1985]; García-Diez et al. 2005: 49 [based on Mortensen 1927a].
Type locality: Norway.
See: Mortensen (1933a: 39–41, fig. 23); Paterson (1985).
Occurrence: North Atlantic, in the west from the Northern American coasts to Greenland and in the east from Iceland and Scandinavia to the British waters (Mortensen 1933a, Paterson 1985).
Depth: 166– 1,952 m (Paterson 1985, Harvey et al. 1988).
Habitat: coral epibiont and also known from muddy sand (Farran 1913).
Larval stage: brooding, protandric hermaphrodite (Mortensen 1920).
Remarks: Ophiomitrella clavigera was included in the Azorean fauna based on the erroneous assumption that O. cordifera was conspecific with this species (for details see remarks under Ophiomitrella cordifera).
