Type locality Great Australian Bight, Australia, approx 35 S, 129.46 E, also New Zealand, location unstated. Benham's principal specimen was an Australian atoke, but he has also a description of a New Zealand epitoke. [details]
Type material Benham (1916) did not designate a holotype, but he described one Australian-origin specimen extensively, and also included an epitoke from New Zealand, thus this and the atoke specimen are syntypes, and there can be no holotype. However, it is clear that the Australian specimen, if re-locatable, is the most important. [details]

Association Apparently Cheilonereis peristomialis is obligately associated with hermit crabs as a commensal. Benham reported that the first NZ specimens were in hermit-crab occupied gastropod shells, but he did not make the deduction they are commensals. Later Young (1923) and Hand (1975) explicitly noted the commensal relationship with pagurids.
