All Bouchet, Warén & Samedi-IRD coll. Remarks. Bathypallenopsis guineensis is a rarely-recorded deep-sea species, known previously only from Gulf of Guinea (type-locality) at 1949–1986 m depth, and in the north-east Atlantic at 1484–4320 m depth (Stock, 1974; Bamber & Thurston, 1995 ). These first records for the Melanesian region (and indeed the first for the Pacific Ocean) are from shallower waters, at 650– 673 m .
