Type locality Thorshavn, Faroe Islands, 62.0063, -6.7690 (also unspecified Greenland). Krøyer (1856:35-36) gives a Latin description and states that the two museum specimens he found came from Thorshavn in the Faroe Islands and from (unspecified) Greenland. Thus there is a joint type locality of two well-separated locations, almost either side of the Atlantic. Possibly the Faroes is the best location to assign as a usable type locality as a precise geolocation is known. [details]

Status Darbyshire (2023: 128) reported there were two syntypes in Natural History Museum of Denmark, one from Faroes (NHMD 109911), one from Greenland (NHMD 109912.), both of which were in poor condition, and so she could not re-validate the species based on the syntypes, although she considered the species is likely to be proven valid in the future when topotype material is available. Accordingly the species is placed as a 'taxon inquirendum' in WoRMS database. Previously it was treated as a synonym of Myxicola infundibulum. [details]

Etymology Not stated but taken to be named for Johannes Japetus Smith Steenstrup (8 March 1813 – 20 June 1897), prominent Danish zoologist, biologist, and professor at the University of Copenhagen. [details]Spelling The original spelling is 'steensrupii' and this is correctly used in the Hartman checklist catalogue (p.551). However, Malmgren (1866; 408) introduces the variant of 'steenstrupi' with single 'i' and this is followed by some authors, including Fauvel (1927) and Darbyshire (2023) [details]
Status Darbyshire (2023: 128) reported there were two syntypes in Natural History Museum of Denmark, one from Faroes (NHMD 109911), one from Greenland (NHMD 109912.), both of which were in poor condition, and so she could not re-validate the species based on the syntypes, although she considered the species is likely to be proven valid in the future when topotype material is available.
