Reports for the Azores:

Dytaster semispinosus ( Perrier, 1894) View in CoL —A.M. Clark & Downey 1992: 55; Dilman 2014: 26.

Type locality: off Galicia (44°29’00”N, 13°31’46”W) GoogleMaps .

See: A.M. Clark & Downey (1992).

Occurrence: known only from abyssal waters between the Azores and the Bay of Biscay ( Perrier 1894, Koehler 1909).

Depth: 4,275 –5,005 m ( Perrier 1894, Koehler 1909).

Habitat: soft sediments ( Koehler 1909).

Remarks: A.M. Clark & Downey (1992) placed Dytaster semispinosus within the Azorean waters, though this species was never collected in the archipelago, but between the Azores and the European continental shores by Talisman ( Perrier 1894, as Crenaster semispinosus ) and by Princesse Alice ( Koehler 1909, as Dytaster parvulus ).
