Halecium tenellum Hincks, 1861: 252 View in CoL , pl. 6 figs 1–4.— Medel & López-González, 1996: 199.— Ramil et al., 1998b: 8.— Medel & Vervoort, 2000: 23 –25.—Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa, 2002: 75–77, fig. 12c–e.— Bouillon et al., 2004: 143, figs. 77A–E.

Material studied. Gettysburg, stn 8: on Zonaria tournefortii and Sertularella ellisii . Gettysburg, stn 10: common on Sertularella ellisii and Sertularella gayi ; DBUA 1520.01; Genbank accession no. KM402024 View Materials .

Remarks. The 16S sequence determined from a specimen of station 10 clustered with low sequence divergence with samples of H. tenellum from the Azores, UK and northern Portugal (Moura, unpublished). This species was previously recorded in the Gorringe at a depth of 54–62 meters by Ramil et al. (1998b).

Reported distribution. Eastern Atlantic.—British Isles (e.g. Hincks 1861, 1868; Cornelius 1975b), Belgium ( Leloup 1952; Muller 2004), France (e.g. Teissier 1965; Fey 1970), N of Spain ( Rioja 1906; Aguirrezabalaga et al. 1984, 1988; Altuna & García Carrascosa 1990; Álvarez Claudio 1993; Altuna 1994a), mainland Portugal ( Da Cunha 1944, 1950), Seine and Ampère banks ( Ramil et al. 1998b), Gorringe ( Ramil et al. 1998b; present study), Madeira ( Wirtz 2007), Azores ( Pictet & Bedot 1900; Medel & Vervoort 2000), western part of the Strait of Gibraltar ( Ramil & Vervoort 1992b), Morocco ( Patriti 1970; Ramil & Vervoort 1992b), Cape Verde Islands ( Medel & Vervoort 2000) and off Guinea-Bissau ( Vervoort 1959).

Mediterranean.—Strait of Gibraltar (Medel et al. 1998); Spain (e.g. García Carrascosa 1981; Gili 1982, 1986; Gili et al. 1984; Roca, 1986, 1989), Alboran Sea ( Templado et al. 1986; Ramil & Vervoort 1992b), Algeria ( Picard 1955), France (Motz Kossowska 1911; Stechow 1919; Leloup 1934a; Picard 1951b; Marinopoulos 1981), Italy ( Rossi 1961; Boero 1981a; Boero & Fresi, 1986; Puce et al. 2009) and Adriatic ( Broch 1933).

Elsewhere.—Apparently cosmopolitan; across the Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, Arctic and Antarctic (e.g. Millard 1975; Álvarez Claudio, 1993; Broch, 1918; Stepan’yants, 1979). However, Cornelius (1975b) and Calder (1991) considered as doubtful records of this species from the poles (and some other localities).
