Abstract
ABSTRACT Five species of Recent brachiopods (Terebratulida), i.e. Xenobrochus parvus (Cooper, 1977), Chlidonophora incerta (Davidson, 1878), Eucalathis ergastica Fischer & Œhlert, 1890, Nanacalathis atlantica Zezina 1991, and Leptothyrella incerta (Davidson, 1880) have been identified in the material collected during the 39th cruise of the RV Professor Logachev in the Russian Exploration Area in the central part of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge in February–March 2018. Only Chlidonophora incerta is numerous, the remaining species are very rare. This is the first confirmed occurrence of the genus Xenobrochus from the Atlantic Ocean. The distribution of the studied fauna and its comparison with adjacent regions are also discussed.
