  • <p>Six species belonging to the family Seguenziidae collected on the South Azorean Seamount Chain (SASC) have been studied. Three species are described as new: <em>Basilissopsis athenae </em>n. sp., <em>Carenzia marismontis </em>n. sp., and <em>Asthelys hyeresensis </em>n. sp. The distributions of these new taxa are probably restricted to the bathyal crests and slopes of the SASC. <em>Basilissopsis athenae </em>n. sp. is part of a regional radiation within the genus where three NE Atlantic species show a large morphological similarity. In contrast, <em>Carenzia marismontis </em>n. sp. is very dissimilar to the NE Atlantic Carenzia carinata (Jeffreys, 1877). The genus <em>Asthelys </em>is represented by two morphologically different species.</p>
