Bathyfauvelia affinis (Fauvel, 1914)
Bathyfauvelia affinis
(Fauvel, 1914) |
Macellicephala annae
Reyss, 1968
Notes
Reported as
Macellicephala annae
by
Chardy et al. (1973)
from deep waters (2000-3000 m) in the Aegean and Ionian Sea, without giving a precise location. It is highly likely that the species was found in the Aegean in Greek waters, as such depths do not occur near the Turkish coast.
Pettibone (1976)
synonymised the two species after having examined the holotype of
Macellicephala annae
and
Arvanitidis (2000a)
, accordingly, uses the name
Bathyfauvelia affinis
in his checklist. Type locality: Western Mediterranean.
