Description:
In 22 samples, 6 from the Josephine Bank and 16 from the Great Meteor Bank, 14 halacarid species were found and described. Halacarus spiniger n. sp., Copidognathus magniporus n. sp., Arbodeoporus lineatus n. sp., A. brevocularis n. sp., Coloboceras karamani n. sp., Scaptognathus minutus n. sp., and Atelopsalis newelli were hitherto unknown. Acaromantis squilla TROUESSART & NEUMANN and Atelopsalis tricuspis TROUESSART were redescribed. Four larvae, probably belonging to Copidognathus longipes BARTSCH, C. tricorneata (LOHMANN), Lohmannella falcata (HODGE), and Atelopsalis newelli n. sp. were described, two Scaptognathus larvae could not be identified. To date only three species, Copidognathus tricorneata, Lohmanella falcata, and Scaptognathus minutus, have been found on both seamounts.
