Aglaophenia willasseni Gil & Ramil, 2021a: 174–176 View in CoL , figs 2, 3.

Material examined. BISSAU-0810, stn BS191, 10º18'25"– 10º19'20"N, 16º08'47"– 16º08'47"W, 24–25 m, 3-XI-2008: one colony without corbulae, substrate unknown.

Remarks. Our material agrees with that described by Gil & Ramil (2021a) with respect to the morphology of the colony and hydrothecae that possess lateral nematothecae with two apertures.

Our material represents the first record of this species for Guinea-Bissau since its description.

Biology. In the northern hemisphere, fertile material has been found in May, while in the southern hemisphere, gonothecae were found in May and July ( Gil & Ramil 2021a).

Distribution. This species has been recorded only from the Republic of Guinea and Gabon, between 31 and 359 m ( Gil & Ramil 2021a).

Our material was collected at depths between 24–25 m.
