Abstract
In total 36 species were identified, from the abyssal of the Vema Fracture Zone in the tropical northern Atlantic and the Puerto Rico Trench, including ten new species. The new species are Chalarostylis erebos n. sp., Chalarostylis nyx n. sp. (Lampropidae), Bathycuma sonneae n. sp. (Bodotriidae), Leucon (Crymoleucn) fracturensis n. sp., Leucon (Crymoleucon) marinae n. sp., Leucon (Macrauloleucon) longiserratus n. sp., Leucon (Macrauloleucon) breviserratus n. sp. (Leuconidae), Atlantistylis paraborealis n.sp., Leptostylis abyssalis n. sp. and Leptostylis danieli n. sp. (Diastylidae).
