ABSTRACT
Three specimens of the bone-eating worms, Osedax rubiplumus Rouse, Goffredi & Vrijenhoek, 2004, were collected from pig bones deployed in the periphery of Longqi vent field on the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR). Osedax rubiplumus was previously only reported in both the eastern and western North Pacific and Antarctic oceans. Our finding extends its range to the Indian Ocean, representing a much wider distribution of O. rubiplumus than previously expected. Moreover, all individuals of O. rubiplumus from the SWIR form a single haplotype with the highest divergence from the Pacific ones.
