Etymology Not stated by the authors, the specific epithet reducta is a Latin word meaning 'reduced', and refers presumably to the small size of the species and its simplified and regressed morphology when compared with other species of the genus: "De très petite taille, cette espèce ne dépasse guère 0,3 mm de largeur du corps [...] La petite taille de H. reducta sp. n., et la morphologie simplifiée, voire régressée de cette espèce, sont également remarquables" (Laubier et al., 1974: 246-248). [details]
Habitat Abyssal plains (2292–2380 m), type of sediment not specified. [details]
Publication date The publication date of issue 23(2A) of Vie et Milieu, containing the article with the original description of Heterospio reducta, is printed in the last page of the issue as “Date de parution : Mars 1974”. Accordingly, the publication date of Heterospio reducta is here corrected from “1973”, the date previously considered to be the correct one, to “1974”. [details]
Type locality Off Algeria, Western Mediterranean Sea (37.055°, 3.59°), 2292-2380 m. [details]
