Description
Ophiomusium lymani Wyville Thomson, 1873
Material examined. Porto MV, MSM01-03, stn 167, 1 ind. (DBUA 001094.01).
Ecology and distribution. Ophiomusium lymani is a bathyal and abyssal species with a wide distribution in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans (Alva & Vadon 1989). In the Atlantic it has been reported from SE Iceland south to Cap Blanc at depths ranging from 651 to 4829 m (Paterson 1985). The single record from the Gulf of Cadiz is within its known bathymetric range. Only one specimen was collected from Porto MV among the frenulate (Polychaeta: Siboglinidae) fields that cover the crater.
