Reports for the Azores:

Spatangus raschi Lovén, 1869 View in CoL — Agassiz 1872: 159, 1881: 171; Bell 1892: 167–168, pl. 16, fig. 11; Mortensen 1907: 129–130, pl. 1, figs. 4–5, pl. 2, fig. 19, pl. 16, figs. 17, 23, 28; H.L. Clark 1917: 235; Mortensen 1927a: 329–330, figs. 192–193; Grieg 1932: 42–43.

Type locality:? Norway .

See: Lovén (1869: 733–735, pl. 13); Mortensen (1927a); Schultz (2006: 429, fig. 805).

Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, from Iceland and Scandinavia to Cap Bojador ( NW Africa; Mortesen 1907, 1927b, 1951b).

Depth: 146– 1,500 m ( Farran 1913).

Habitat: surface deposit feeder on mud to detritic substrates ( Farran 1913, Nichols 1959).

Remarks: Agassiz (1872) reported Spatangus raschi from the archipelago based on a specimen present in the collection of the Breslau Museum. However, Mortensen (1951b) stated that there was no record of any S. raschi specimens from the Azores ever been housed at the museum. Thus, the presence of this species in the archipelago is still to be confirmed.
