Material SAM-A15461 2 S3 3 $$ 1 ovig. ? 3,9-5,3 mm SM 103 Remarks This is only the second record of this remarkable species. Tattersall (1905) recorded B. typhlops from five stations off the Irish coast, in depths ranging from about 400 to 830 metres, and in all cases the bottom substrate was fine sand. The length of the adult male and female from Ireland was 5,0 mm, agreeing well with the present material. No differences in proportions or in the appendages could be detected between Tattersalfs and Loyola e Silva's figures and descriptions, and the present specimens. The huge distance between these two records can only be explained by a lack of sampling of the appropriate Fig. 13. Bathycopea typhlops Tattersall, dorsal view. Family Serolidae Sevolis brinki sp. no v. Figs 14-15 Description Male. Body longer than wide, lacking spines and tubercles on dorsum. Head with anterolateral angles acute, slightly produced, anterior margin.
