To date, there are approximately a dozen species recognized and accepted within the genus (Cordeiro et al. 2019); brief discussion is included based on location data for specimens collected (or at least noted) by both MBARI and NMNH. Both institutions have specimens that were either collected or note locations that put them in close proximity of, if not actually in, the California Bight, but only a very few described species have potential for being located within the region (although new species are certainly possible as deep-water sites are further explored). There are two specimens of interest housed at NMNH: one from California Channel Islands, San Nicolas Island, ~40 miles SW of the island,

, 14 October 1990; USNM 94447 [wet]. A posted MBARI image showed a pink specimen from Davidson Seamount, at 2,683 m. MBARI data records indicated that approximately a dozen different samples have been taken, classified as belonging to this genus, with many more video-recorded sightings, in the vicinity of 32

these specimens have been identified to species. This is a genus that requires further study; only with collection events south of Monterey Bay, in and near central California or some distance west of the northern California Channel Islands, will we know the extent to which members of this genus are present within the California Bight.
