UROPTYCHUS EDISONICUS View in CoL BABA & WILLIAMS, 1998

Type locality: Western Pacific Ocean , Papua New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, Edison Seamount, near Lihir Island; 03°19.07′S, 152°34.92′E; 1492 m GoogleMaps .

Known range: Known only from the type locality.

Material: Type locality, R / V Sonne, EDISON cruise, Sbb-1535; 29 March 1994; holotype female, USNM 251479 View Materials .

Remarks: Baba & Williams (1998) noted that this species was morphologically more similar to other (non-vent) species of Uroptychus in the Banda Sea and central North Pacific Ocean than it is to the other two vent-associated species. The description of this species, named for the Edison Seamount, was based on the single specimen collected there.
