| Summary: | <p>A new common deep-sea species of <em>Halirages</em> Boeck, 1871 closely related to <em>H. qvadridentatus</em> G.O. Sars, 1877, <em>H. cainae</em> sp. nov., is described after specimens collected in the Norwegian Sea during the MAREANO 2009-111 cruise. Examination of the syntypes of <em>H. elegans</em> Norman, 1882 demonstrates that Norman's species is a junior synonym of <em>H. qvadridentatus</em> G.O. Sars, 1877 and that the species usually named <em>H. elegans</em> in literature was actually undescribed. The name <em>H. stappersi</em> sp. nov. is proposed for that species. A key to and a checklist of <em>Halirages</em> species is given.</p> |
