Lohmannella falcata
(Hodge, 1863)
Report associated with sponges:
This species was reported from mud and sedimentds containing organisms such as sponge
Halicondria
sp.
, algae
Cystoclonium
,
Plocanium
, pycnogonids, etc., from
Helgoland
, North Sea (
Viets 1927a
).
André (1928)
mentioned this species among algae, sponges and bryozoans from Mediterranean Sea.
Remarks:
Bartsch (2020)
mentioned that the specimens identified to
L. falcata
from
2500–3000 m
depth would be distinct from
L. falcata
and those from
400–500 m
depth at Golfe de Gascogne (Trouessart & Neumann 1896) were also dubious. This species was reported on various substrates: coarse sands, gravels, shell fragments, sediments with algae, mussels, bryozoans, hydroids, ascidians, and lichens (
