CHORILIA LONGIPES DANA, 1851 View in CoL

Type locality: ‘ad oras Oregonenses’ (Oregon; type not extant) ( Rathbun, 1925) .

Known range: Western coast of North America, from the Alaskan Peninsula to San Diego, and east to Japan (though possibly a subspecies), 33–119 m (as 18– 650 fathoms) ( Rathbun, 1925).

Occurrence at vents and seeps: Reported from seeps in Monterey Canyon (see below).

Material: None known from vents or seeps; see Rathbun (1925) for USNM holdings from other areas.

Remarks: Rathbun (1925) commented on the subspecies that had been described as occurring from Monterey south to San Diego ( C. longipes turgida ) and from Japan ( C. longipes japonica ); not all subsequent workers have recognized the southern California subspecies as distinct (see McLaughlin et al., 2005). The species was reported from seeps in Monterey Canyon, California ( Barry et al., 1996), which is the intermediate point between northern and southern subspecies ( Rathbun, 1925).
