Erroneous— Calymne relicta Thomson, 1877 View in CoL

Reports for the Azores:

Calymne relicta — Agassiz 1881: 155–157 View in CoL , pl. 34, figs. 1–13, pl. 39, figs. 24–26, pl. 40, figs. 63–65, pl. 43, fig. 24, pl. 44, figs. 47, 48.

Type locality: North of the Bermuda .

See: Mortensen (1950: 129–131, fig. 115); Saucede et al. (2009).

Occurrence: North Atlantic deep sea, north of the Bermuda, NW of Ampere Seamount and the Newfoundland Basin ( Saucède et al. 2009).

Habitat: on soft bottoms (muddy sand; Saucede et al. 2009).

Depth: 3,720–4,860 m ( Saucède et al. 2009).

Remarks: on reviewing the material from H.M.S. Challenger, H.L. Clark (1925) noticed that the specimens reported by Agassiz (1881) as coming from Faial Island were mislabelled, being from Bermuda’s waters in reality.
