Depth range Collected in the water column, 960 m depth, 30 m above sea floor. [details]

Depth range Deep-sea context derived from a specimen depth data search [details]

Diagnosis "Species distinguished by hirsute forked chaetae, and presence of branchiae from chaetiger 5" (Sardá et al., 2009: 8).  [details]

Distribution Western Mediterranean Sea: Foix Canyon (off Barcelona).  [details]

Etymology The specific epithet hirsuta, is the feminine of the Latin adjective hirsutus, meaning 'hairy' or 'hirsute', and refers to the hirsute appearance produced by the large and characteristic capillary chaetae.  [details]

Habitat Collected in the water column, at 960 m depth, 30 m above sea floor, in a submarine canyon. [details]

Type locality Western Mediterranean, off Barcelona, Foix Canyon, st. ST01C22 (40º59'N; 02º02'E); 960 m depth, in the water column 30 m above sea floor.  [details]

Type material Contrary to what is stated in the description, the type material was not deposited at the Centre Mediterrani d'Investigacions Marines i Ambientals - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CMIMA-CSIC, Barcelona, Spain). The whereabouts of the type material is at present uncertain (Rafael Sardá, pers. com. May 2015).  [details]

Validity There were doubts concerning the validity of this species, as it didn't seem to accomplish article 16.4 of the ICZN, according to which the original publication of a new specific name must be accompanied "[...] by the explicit fixation of a holotype, or syntypes, for the nominal taxon [...]", and, "[...] where the holotype or syntypes are extant specimens, by a statement of intent that they will be (or are) deposited in a collection and a statement indicating the name and location of that collection [...]". In the present case, the type material was never deposited in a collection, contrary to what was stated in the original publication. The Editor contacted Dr. Miguel Ángel Alonso-Zarazaga, Comissioner of the ICZN, concerning this question. According to Dr. Alonso-Zarazaga [pers. comm. May 15 2015] the species is valid, as in spite of not having deposited the type material, the authors accomplished with the "statement of intent" of depositing it in a collection. The authors are recommended by Dr. Alonso-Zarazaga to deposit the type and other material in another collection and to publish this information as a short note, if possible in the same journal where the species was originally described.  [details]
