Stenopodidae Claus 1872

Description

Family Stenopodidae Claus, 1872

Stenopus pyrsonotus Goy & Devaney, 1980: pre-dive at stn 32, Nuku Hiva, 129 m (Fig. 3 b). R/V Alis, dredge, Hiva Oa, 85– 87 m.

Remarks. Stenopus pyrsonotus is a shallow-water species common in caves the Marquesas between 20– 35 m. This species was photographed by the ROV at 129 m, being its deepest record. A specimen of S. pyrsonotus collected in 1997 with a dredge at 85–87 m off Hiva Oa (R/V Alis, unpublished record, MUSORSTOM 9, stn DW1217) confirms the observations made with the ROV.
