BYTHOGRAEA LAUBIERI GUINOT & SEGONZAC, 1997 View in CoL

Type locality: south-eastern Pacific Ocean, EPR, Rehu hydrothermal site; 17°24.85′S, 113°12.15′W; 2580 m GoogleMaps .

Known range: East Eastern Pacific Ocean, southern EPR, from hydrothermal vents between 11°S and 21°S; absent from northern EPR vent sites (Guinot, 1997, in Desbruyères & Segonzac, 1997; Guinot & Segonzac, 1997; Guinot et al., 2002; Guinot & Hurtado, 2003).

Material: type locality; Naudur, Nautile dive ND18-5- 8B; 23 December 1993; MNHN-B 24897 (holotype male), MNHN-B 24900 (allotype female) ( Guinot & Segonzac, 1997) .

– Rehu hydrothermal site; 17°24.85′S, 113°12.15′W; 2580 m; NAUDUR, Nautile dive ND6-2-6B; 11 December 1993; MNHN-B 24893 (paratype, 1 male) ( Guinot & Segonzac, 1997) GoogleMaps .

– Rehu hydrothermal site; 17°24.85′S, 113°12.15′W; 2578 m; NAUDUR, Nautile dive ND18–0-1B; 23 December 1993; MNHN-B 24895 (paratype 1 male) ( Guinot & Segonzac, 1997) GoogleMaps .

– Rehu hydrothermal site; 17°24.85′S, 113°12.15′W; depth not provided; NAUDUR, Nautile dive ND18-4- 7B; date not provided; MNHN-B 24896 at USNM (paratypes, 1 male juvenile, 4 females) ( Guinot & Segonzac, 1997) GoogleMaps .

–Rehu hydrothermal site; 17°24.85′S, 113°12.15′W; 2578 m; NAUDUR, Nautile dive ND19-1-1B; 24 December 1993; ex-MNHN-B 24898 (paratype, 1 female) ( Guinot & Segonzac, 1997).

– Stockwork hydrothermal site; 18°25.82′S, 113°23.60′W; 2623 m; NAUDUR, Nautile dive ND8-4- 4B; 13 December 93. MNHN-B 25392 (non-type, 1 male juvenile) ( Guinot & Segonzac, 1997) GoogleMaps .

Remarks: Guinot (1997, in Desbruyères & Segonzac, 1997) noted that this species occurs near black smokers at high temperatures and that it is ‘probably associated with B. thermydron ’. Guinot & Hurtado (2003) extended the known range of the species south to 32 °S in their description of B. vrijenhoeki , with which B. laubieri co-occurs ( Guinot & Hurtado, 2003: 430).
