Editor's comment Holthe (1986: 93) in his checklist catalogue gives an incorrect listing as "Asabellides oculata Berkeley & Berkeley, 1956", Type locality New Brunswick. However, the Berkeley's (1956) are clear that they are reporting Webster's Atlantic species from the Pacific coast of New Brunswick. [details]
