discussion
REMARKS The occurrence of this species, originally described from off SW Iceland in 260 - 300 m, is surprising, but we could not see any substantial difference in the specimens collected off NW Gran Canaria. There are other shared species such as Ancistrobasis reticulata, Rugulina fragilis and others. New to Spanish waters.
