FIGURE 7 in Carcinoecium-forming Epizoanthus [Hexacorallia: Zoantharia] and the biology of E. papillosus in the eastern Atlantic, with special reference to the cnidom

FIGURE 7. The distribution of Epizoanthus species in the western (left) and eastern (right) North Atlantic ocean. Western Atlantic distributions are based on specimens in collections of the US National Museum, Washington, ⋅ E. papillosus (1880- 1914); Δ(1950-1990); insert shows area to south of Cape Cod at enlarged scale. Eastern Atlantic distributions • E. papillosus data based on surveys by UK and Spanish organisations (see text), 1996-2000. In both maps: • E. paguriphilus and • E. abyssorum compiled from collections in the (then) Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (IOS), the USNM, and other museums. The latitudinal ranges of these two species in the Atlantic Ocean extend beyond the limits of the two maps; E. papillosus has also been recorded from around the Cape Verde islands and in the Gulf of Mexico (one record, 27.80°N, 85.00°W). Ocean depth is indicated by tone (scale to right of maps), with a conspicuous change of tone at the shelf margin.
