Abstract

Three specimens of pycnogonid, from northeast Atlantic deep water samples taken off the Porcupine Bank and west of the Flannan Isles, are recorded to complete the analysis of material currently held at Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery, Scotland. One of the specimens is the second recorded individual of Pallenopsis mollissima, and allows the completion of the description of this rare species since the terminal leg segments are present. Dimensions of the chelae indicate close affinity between this species and P.paramollis, and the possibility of synonymy is discussed.
