REMARKS

Oxynaspis patens was originally described from the Anguilla Islands in the Caribbean ( Aurivillius 1894: 38) and was subsequently recorded from the Great Meteor Bank ( Young 1998a: 3). These new specimens were also collected at the Great Meteor Seamount, near the same latitude previously recorded by Young (1998a: 3). The occurrence of this sample increases the depth range of O. patens from 125-355 m to 455 m.
