Material sequenced: A tissue subsample from the holotype, MIMB 28684, 3 August 2012, about 400 km south of the Kamchatka Peninsula (46 ° 13.69 ′ – 46 ° 14.87 ′ N, 155 ° 33.29 ′ – 155 ° 32.49 ′ E), north-west Pacific, Agassiz trawl, 4869 – 4861 m depth, station 2 - 11 of the KuramBio expedition with the S / V Sonne, collected by A. V. Chernyshev. Sequences: From the holotype: LC 178609, 18 S (1795 bp); LC 178642, 28 S (2094 bp); LC 190963, COI (658 bp) (determined in this study). AB 921565, 16 S (505 bp), determined by Chernyshev et al. (2015), also from the holotype. Distribution: Known from depths of 3306 – 4861 m around the Kuril Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk and the north-west Pacific (Chernyshev et al., 2015; Chernyshev & Polyakova, 2018). Remarks: Sonnenemertes cantelli is ‘ 12 – 14 mm long, cylindrical and stout, with rounded anterior and posterior ends, without caudal cirrus; body yellowish in anterior part and pinkish in gut region’ (Chernyshev & Polyakova, 2018: 124). The species seems to feed on sipunculans (see Potential food items below).
