Ammotrypane aulogaster Rathke View in CoL — Rathke (1843: 186); McIntosh (1878: 505); McIntosh (1908: 383); Kükenthal (1887: 148); Southern (1914: 11); Eliason (1951: 135).

Ammotrypane ingebrigtsenii Kükenthal View in CoL — Kükenthal (1887: 371; fide Hartman 1959).

Material examined BIOICE material: 589 specimens (4.94% of Opheliidae ) in 61 samples (see Electronic Supplementary Material) .

Occurrence This species was found along Iceland in a wide range of temperatures (−0.54–8.59°C), but never below the 600 m isobath (depth range: 46–584 m).

Previously reported distribution This species was originally described from the coast of Denmark and has frequently been reported in all oceans (e.g. Day 1961, 1967; Elías et al. 2003; Hartmann-Schröder 1979; Salazar-Vallejo and Londoño-Mesa 2004; Uebelacker 1984; Wehe and Fiege 2003); However, Elías et al. (2003) questioned the consideration as a cosmopolitan (e.g. Hartman and Fauchald 1971; Uebelacker 1984) because of clear differences between the type material and the descriptions from other latitudes. The species was previously recorded in Icelandic waters by Wesenberg-Lund (1951).
