Type locality: Azores (38°26’N, 26°30’45”W). See: Koehler (1896b); Bartsch (1987: 122–123, figs. 20–21); Paterson (1985). Occurrence: North Atlantic, from Florida eastwards from Rockall to Western Sahara, including the Azores (Paterson 1985). Depth: 500– 3,175 m (Koehler 1914 a, Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972); AZO: 1,165 –1,378 m (Koehler 1909, 1921a). Habitat: soft sediments, sand with coral and shells (Koehler 1914a). Remarks: Koehler (1896b, 1909) described Ophiacantha lineata based on specimens collected in the Azores by Princesse Alice (sta 578: 38°26’N, 26°30’45”W, 1,165 m). Koehler (1921a) found further material from the archipelago on a later expedition by Hirondelle II (sta 3140: 37°38’N, 26°01’W, 1,378 m). No other material is known from the archipelago.Published as part of Madeira, Patrícia, Kroh, Andreas, Cordeiro, Ricardo, De, António M., Martins, Frias & Ávila, Sérgio P., 2019, The Echinoderm Fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic Ocean), pp. 1-231 in Zootaxa 4639 (1) on page 35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4639.1, http://zenodo.org/record/334216

Type locality: East of the Azores (37°17’N, 20°14’W). See: Madsen (1961); A.M. Clark & Downey (1992: 103–104, fig. 19k, pl. 27, fig. I). Occurrence: Indian and Atlantic Oceans (Madsen 1961); from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean deep waters (A.M. Clark & Downey 1992), eastwards to the Azores (Koehler 1909), the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (SW Ireland; Howell et al. 2002) southwards to the Angola Basin (Sibuet 1975). Depth: 3,310 –6,600 m (A.M. Clark & Downey 1992); AZO: 4,020 m (Koehler 1909). Habitat: soft sediments, Globigerina ooze and sandy mud (Madsen 1961). Remarks: Styracaster elongatus is known from the Azores based on a single specimen reported by Koehler (1909; Princesse Alice, sta 527: 38°09’00”N, 23°15’45”W, 4,020 m). The scarcity of local records can be explained by the species’ known depth range both in the Azores (> 4,000 m) and through its geographical range (> 3,000 m).Published as part of Madeira, Patrícia, Kroh, Andreas, Cordeiro, Ricardo, De, António M., Martins, Frias & Ávila, Sérgio P., 2019, The Echinoderm Fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic Ocean), pp. 1-231 in Zootaxa 4639 (1) on page 83, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4639.1, http://zenodo.org/record/334216

Occurrence: known with certainty from the type material collected only from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (A.M. Clark & Downey 1992). Depth: 3,465 m (Koehler 1909). Habitat: soft bottoms (Globigerina ooze; Koehler 1909). Remarks: Freyella recta is known only with certainty from the type material (A.M. Clark & Downey 1992). This species was described by Koehler (1907a, 1909) based on a poorly preserved specimen taken by Princesse Alice in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, about 600 miles southwest from the Azorean waters. Later reports from the archipelago by Mortensen (1927a) and Grieg (1932) erroneously placed the record of Princesse Alice cruise in the archipelago.Published as part of Madeira, Patrícia, Kroh, Andreas, Cordeiro, Ricardo, De, António M., Martins, Frias & Ávila, Sérgio P., 2019, The Echinoderm Fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic Ocean), pp. 1-231 in Zootaxa 4639 (1) on pages 168-169, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4639.1, http://zenodo.org/record/334216
