Comments. Evoplosoma has been observed from submersibles as a predator of deep-sea gorgonians and occurs widely throughout the world, primarily in the Atlantic and the Pacific ( Mah et al. 2010, Mah 2015a). Two species have been described from hard substrates at bathyal-abyssal depths off the Pacific coast of North America ( Mah et al., 2010). A key to Evoplosoma was presented by Mah (2015).
