Deep-sea Fauna of European Seas: Ascidiacea
IdentificationRemarks: I agree with Kott (1990: 21), who wrote: “Araneum Monniot, Monniot, 1973, assigned by its authors to the family Cionidae has no apparent cionid characters. It appears a highly adapted, abys-sal phlebobranch related to the Ascidiidae”.
IdentificationRemarks: The species was described originally from the waters south of Australia. Sanamyan,Sanamyan (2002) pointed out minor differencesbetween Atlantic and Pacific specimens, but al- though records are numerous, most of them lack descriptions, and additional mate
IdentificationRemarks: The taxonomic position of this species is not clear. Van Name (1945: 428) pointed out that Anomopera “does not appear to differ very greatly from Molgula ”; One specimen recorded between the Iceland and Greenland.

IdentificationRemarks: The genus is known from 5 specimens from two stations: Monniot, Monniot (1984a) mentioned only four specimens from St.8, but according their Table 1 in the same paper there is another specimen from St. 12. It was very tenatively assigned to Cionidae. In m
IdentificationRemarks: The species is known only from six specimens recorded in the North Atlantic (north of Madeira)

IdentificationRemarks: It is possible that several different Octacnemus species have been recorded under the name O. ingolfi (Sanamyan, Sanamyan, 2002)
IdentificationRemarks: Monniot, Monniot (1990: 273) included in the synonymy of this species Hexacrobylus arcticus: Monniot, Monniot,1984b: 203 (part, specimens from BIACORES and BIOGAS cruises). However, a different species (H. gul

IdentificationRemarks: Some records of this species indepths exceeding 2000 m in NE Atlantic (Monniot,Monniot, 1974b), are not listed because specimens belonging to B. dubius were recorded under the name B. laubieri, and these records cannot be separated.
IdentificationRemarks: Originally described from the Swedish coast of the Skagerrak at only 80 m, the species has been recorded subsequently several times from the Northeast Atlantic at depths not exceeding 1000 m. In addition, there are two records from 4339 and 4490 m
