Anabrissus damesi
Description
Brissus damesi Agassiz, 1881: 197–200, pl. 30a, figs. 15–16; H.L. Clark, 1925: 218–219.
Type locality: Brazil (9°05’S to 9°10’S, 34°49’W to 34° 53’W).
See: Agassiz (1881); Mortensen (1951b: 362–362, figs. 168–169, pl. 26, figs. 4–6, pl. 41, figs. 12, 13, 15).
Occurrence: known only from a specimen collected in Brazilian waters.
Depth: 640 m.
Habitat: soft substrates (mud).
Remarks: in the batch of the original description of Anabrissus damesi (= Brissus damesi), Agassiz (1881) included a specimen from Faial Island (H.M.S. Challenger, sta. 75: 38°37’N, 28°30’W, 92–824 m), which was described by H.L. Clark (1925) as a very small juvenile form (<10 mm) with no petals and no genital pores. The animal lacked important diagnostic characters and was later considered as unidentifiable by Mortensen (1951b). Thus, the presence of this species in the archipelago is still to be confirmed and the known material of this species is still restricted to the type material from Brazil waters.
