Reports for the Azores:

Ophiacantha lineata $ Koehler, 1896b: 247–249, 1909: 187–188 , pl. 25, figs. 6–8, 1921a: 2, 4; Mortensen 1927a: 188; Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972: 398; $ Paterson 1985: 42–44, fig. 19; García-Diez et al. 2005: 49.

Type locality: Azores (38°26’N, 26°30’45”W) GoogleMaps .

See: Koehler (1896b); Bartsch (1987: 122–123, figs. 20–21); Paterson (1985).

Occurrence: North Atlantic, from Florida eastwards from Rockall to Western Sahara, including the Azores ( Paterson 1985).

Depth: 500– 3,175 m ( Koehler 1914 a, Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972); AZO: 1,165 –1,378 m ( Koehler 1909, 1921a).

Habitat: soft sediments, sand with coral and shells ( Koehler 1914a).

Remarks: Koehler (1896b, 1909) described Ophiacantha lineata based on specimens collected in the Azores by Princesse Alice (sta 578: 38°26’N, 26°30’45”W, 1,165 m). Koehler (1921a) found further material from the archipelago on a later expedition by Hirondelle II (sta 3140: 37°38’N, 26°01’W, 1,378 m). No other material is known from the archipelago.
