MD 50 DC71, MNHN IE.2009.1527 (2). MD 50 DC79, MNHN IE.2009.1528 (2). MD 50 DC105, MNHN IE.2009.1529 (1). MD 50 DC114, MNHN IE.2009.1530 (1). MD 50 CP149, MNHN IE.2009.1531 (9). MD 50 DC157, MNHN IE.2009.1532 (21). MD 50 DC167, MNHN IE.2009.1533 (1).
Distribution. Arctic (29–2369 m), NW Atlantic (0–1962 m), NE Atlantic (0–1560 m), NW Pacific (0–413 m), NE Pacific (0–933 m), W Atlantic (0–353 m), E Atlantic (0–741 m), W Indian (0–750 m), E Indo-W Pacific (0–694 m), E Pacific (0–46 m), S America (0–134 m), S Africa (0–1600 m), S Australia (0–841 m), New Zealand (2–1059 m). SPA (3–1600 m).
Remarks. Amphipholis squamata is a polyphyletic (O’Hara et al. 2017) assemblage of numerous genetic lineages (Boissin et al. 2008). Only synonyms relevant to the SPA are listed above. The wide bathymetric range of the MD50 samples suggests that several lineages may be present in the SPA. Hertz (1927a) named her specimens A. minor after a South African lineage, however, the diagnostic characters used by Döderlein (1910) to distinguish this species were inadequate (Mortensen 1933a). The MD50 material is small and damaged.
