Type locality: off W Ireland (53 ° 11 ’ 12 ” N – 53 ° 11 ’ 36 ” N, 20 ° 05 ’ 06 ” W – 20 ° 03 ’ 54 ” W). See: A. M. Clark (1973: 269 – 270, figs. 1 a – e, 2, pl. 1, figs. a – d). Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, from off S – SW Ireland south to the Azores and east to the Bay of Biscay and off Morocco (Tyler & Zibrowius 1992). Depth: 2,000 – 2,810 m (Mironov et al. 2014); AZO: 2,200 – 2,810 m (Roux 1980). Habitat: hard substrata (Tyler & Zibrowius 1992). Remarks: Roux (1980) identified Anachalypsicrinus nefertiti in deep-sea photographs taken by the project Famous in the south of the Azores (36 ° 49 ’ 36 ” N – 36 ° 57 ’ 30 ” N, 33 ° 05 ′ W – 33 ° 16 ’ 30 ” W, 2,220 – 2,810 m). The abyssal depths and the type of substrata may account for the paucity of reports throughout its known geographical distribution.
