- Mendicula ferruginosa (Forbes, 1844) (Fig. 29) Material examined. Nine live-collected specimens, TTR 15, stn AT 575 B, Mercator mud volcano, Gulf of Cadiz, 35 o 17.903 N, 06o 38.715 W, 355 m, 26 July 2005 (DBUA 000834.01). Remarks. The heavily encrusted ferruginous deposit and subovate outline are characteristic of this ubiquitous species. It has been recorded from many parts of the Atlantic and Mediterranean in depths from 50 to 4825 m and has not been associated with any specific reducing environment (Payne & Allen 1991). Dufour (2005) classified this as having Type 2 gills with a single demibranch and showing no evidence of bacterial symbiosis.
