Treatment

Erroneous— Democrinus rawsonii ( Pourtalès, 1874)

Reports for the Azores:

non Rhizocrinus rawsoni Pourtalès, 1874 — Carpenter 1883b: 173–175, 1884: 262–269, pl. 9, figs. 3–5, pl. 10, figs. 3–20, pl. 53, figs. 7, 8 [misidentification of Democrinus parfaiti ]; Koehler 1909: 255–256 [misidentification of Democrinus parfaiti ]; Pérès 1992: 256 [misidentification of Democrinus parfaiti ]; non Democrinus rawsonii ( Pourtalès, 1874) — García–Diez et al. 2005: 46 [based on Koehler 1909].

Type locality: Barbados .

See: A.M. Clark (1977: 177).

Occurrence: Western Atlantic, in the Caribbean waters.

Depth: 66–652 m.

Remarks: Democrinus rawsonii was recorded in the Azores based on the erroneous assumption that D. parfaiti was conspecific with this species (for details see remarks under D. parfaiti ). In view of this, all reports of this comatulid in the archipelago should be considered as D. parfaiti .
