Material examined

MARTINIQUE • 1 ♀; Pointe Baham ; 14°24.7ʹ N, 60°50.1ʹ W; depth 2 m; 11 Sep. 2016; st. AB117; MNHN-IU-2016-4187/ MK411112 View Materials GoogleMaps .

Remarks

Pentapycnon geayi is one of the few polymerous species in the world, and one of two known outside of the Southern Ocean, with the other being Pentacolossendeis reticulata Hedgpeth, 1943 ( Arnaud & Bamber 1987). The two other known species of Pentapycnon have only been reported from the Southern Ocean ( Child 1995). The species is here recorded for the first time in Martinique. The single specimen was collected on the southern Atlantic coast of Martinique.

Distribution

Recorded from Tropical West Atlantic ( Puerto Rico, French Guiana, Surinam, Brazil) and Spanish Mediterranean coast ( Gibraltar and Alboran Sea).

Depth range

5– 70 m. We extend this depth range to 2 m.
