Type locality Type locality not known. The holotype is BMNH 2013.410 which indicates a registration in 2013, which must be a re-registration, not the original early 1900's registration [awaiting updated info from BMNH]. Salazar-Vallejo gives the provenance of the specimen as "Red Sea ... Crossland Red Sea Expedition, 19 Jan. 1904", and the specimen would be expected to have been discovered with the rest of the Crossland material in the BMNH, not necessarily recorded in a collection register around 1904, but at least within a couple of decades. The 1904-05 visit of Crossland (describing it as an 'expedition' seems an exaggeration) was to the Sudan Coast of the Red Sea. There are a number of contemporaneous taxonomic accounts about biota Crossland collected (sponges, corals, fish, etc) in which named Red Sea localities where Crossland collected are mentioned. Crossland later returned and spent years in the 1930s at Ghardaqa on the Red Sea Coast, but this Sternaspis is apparently related only to the circa 1904 Crossland collections.[details]
