A recent survey of deep-water coral banks in the Maltese archipelago provided a few living specimens of the Solenogastres Anamenia gorgonophila (Kowalevsky, 1880). The specimens were found at c. 500 m depth associated with one of its known hosts, i.e. the gorgonian Paramuricea macrospina (Koch, 1882). Both taxa represent first records in the Strait of Sicily.

Abstract
A recent survey of deep-water coral banks in the Maltese archipelago provided a few living specimens of the Solenogastres Anamenia gorgonophila (Kowalevsky, 1880). The specimens were found at c. 500 m depth associated with one of its known hosts, i.e. the gorgonian Paramuricea macrospina (Koch, 1882). Both taxa represent first records in the Strait of Sicily.File in questo prodotto:
