Supplemental Figure S1. In situ images of Polylepion gilmorei, new species. (A) Screen grab from video taken by the ROV Kraken aboard the NOAA R/V Nancy Foster on 28 Sept. 2011, at 300 m on the Pourtales Terrace, south of the Florida Keys (photo courtesy of Andrew David, NOAA). Red laser dots are 20 cm apart. (B) Screen grab from video taken by GoPro camera mounted on Curasub submersible 11 February 2015, off Substation Curaçao downline, 272 m depth. The 35.7 mm SL juvenile specimen of P. gilmorei shown here (indictaed by the red arrow), which was ultimately captured and accessioned as a paratype of the new species, USNM 435298, was observed swimming away from underneath the dead branching coral on the right side of the image following illumination of the area with the sub’s lights.
