Type locality Lucky Strike vent field-MAR. Samples were collected from a hard substratum covered by a thin layer of volcaniclastic sediment, on a visually inactive vent structure at 1,649 m depth. Environmental conditions exhibited background or slightly higher seawater temperature (i.e. 4.8–5.7 °C) and higher pH (i.e. 7.8–7.9) than the surrounding deep-sea but the activity was very low compared to active habitats where recorded temperature varied between 5.2 °C to 9.5 °C, reaching a maximum of 22.1 °C, and pH varying from 7.2 to 7.6. [details]
Type material All specimens are deposited in the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris, France. Male holotype, two juvenile paratypes and the female paratype in the inventory number MNNH-BN511-I1-L1-B. Two male paratypes and female paratypes in MNHN-BN511-I2-L1-A. [details]
Etymology The specific epithet is in honor of ‘Pedro Miguel’, nephew of the first author.
