Treatment

Corella eumyota Traustedt, 1882: 271 ; Kott, 1985: 83 (synonymy); Sanamyan and Sanamyan, 1999: 1842.

Material examined. St. 4100, 1265± 1376 m, about 20 specimens (up to 12 cm long) and fragments.

Remarks. This is the deepest record for this widely distributed species, the greatest depth previously recorded is 842 m. Usually it lives on hard substrata, but the present specimens have crowded and branched root-like outgrowths on the posterior end of the body, suggesting that they were anchored in the mud.
