HYMENODORA GLACIALIS
(
BUCHHOLZ, 1874
)
Type
locality
:
Arctic Ocean
, off
Greenland
, north of
Jan Mayen Island
; ∼
74°N
,
7°W
.
Known range
: Reported from the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea south to the Gulf of
Panama
in the Pacific, and from the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic in the Atlantic; recorded depths range from near the surface in polar seas to
5610 m
in the Pacific and to approximately
3900 m
in the Atlantic (
Havens & Rork, 1969
;
Butler, 1980
;
Hendrickx & Estrada Navarrete, 1996
;
Wicksten, 2002
).
Rathbun (1904)
reported records further south, including off
Ecuador
in the Pacific, but it is unclear if these reports were discounted by
Butler (1980)
, who noted that this species has been confused often in the past with
H. gracilis
(see
Wasmer, 1972
;
Butler, 1980
).
Wicksten (2002)
additionally lists the western South Atlantic,
Chile
, the subantarctic Pacific and the south-western Indian Ocean (see
Martin, 2003
).
Occurrence at vents or seeps
: limited to a single report from a slow spreading centre (the Gakkel Ridge) in the Arctic Ocean (
Martin, 2003
).

Remarks
:
Martin (2003)
reported this species from Arctic hydrothermal vents (Gakkel Ridge), though he noted that in light of the method of collection, association with actual vent sites was open to question. The record of
Hymenodora frontalis
Rathbun, 1902
, from the Gorda Ridge axial valley (
Carey
et al.
, 1987
), may represent an additional vent-associated species of the genus, though specific ecological information is unknown; as with
H. glacialis
, there is no firm indication that the species is associated with active venting.
