Remarks

Most of the specimens collected during BANGAL 0711 were assigned to Policordia gemma as represented on Fig. 39E‒F View Fig . Nevertheless, a second species, represented by only three specimens and one shell, was present in sample V10 ( 1720 m) together with P. gemma and was tentatively identified in the preliminary INDEMARES BANGAL 0711 report ( Gofas et al. 2014b) and in Gofas et al. (2017) as Policordia atlantica Allen & J.F. Turner, 1974 .
