See: Koehler (1896c: 81–86, figs. 43, 44); Rodrigues et al. (2011: 7, fig. 2).
Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, from the Reykjanes Ridge (S of Iceland; Copley et al. 1996) and British Isles to NW Africa (Paterson 1985), including the Azores and Canaries (Koehler 1909).
Depth: 658– 1,805 m (Copley et al. 1996); AZO: 1,095 –1,740 m (Koehler 1909, 1921a).
Habitat: soft bottoms, mud to sand (Koehler 1909) and on corals (Rodrigues et al. 2011).
Remarks: Koehler (1896a, 1898, 1906b, 1909, 1921a) recorded Ophiacantha aristata among the material collected by the main oceanographic cruises crossing the Azorean archipelago waters at the time (Hirondelle, Talisman, Princesse Alice). This species is only known in the archipelago from Koehler’s historical reports.
