Type locality Near Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Ocean (gazetteer estimate 21.42°, -158.21°): "Mare pacificum prope insulas havaicas summa aqua, in itinere Eugeniae 7 Julii 1852" (Kinberg, 1866: 243). According to Skogman (1854: 228), the 7th July 1852 the location of the frigate HSwMS Eugenie was south to southwestern of the island of Oahu, between Honolulu and Kaena Point, the western cape of the island, on its way to California. The geolocation was thus estimated with a gazetteer to be about 21.42°, -158.21°. [details]
Type material Lost, according to Kinberg (1866: 243): "Specimen perditum". [details]

Taxonomy Indeterminable. Apstein (1900: 7) did not receive the type material to revise it, and considered the original description to be insufficient to allow the recognition of the species: ''sind nach der Beschreibung nicht zu erkennen, müssen also gestrichen werden. Originale nicht erhalten''. Later Hartman (1948: 11; 1959: 167) considered the species to be indeterminable, according to Apstein (1900). [details]
