Type locality Not stated in the original description, which is based on an illustration without accompanying text. The publication including the original description covers the invertebrates from the Kingdom of Naples ("Memorie sulla storia e notomia degli animali senza vertebre del regno di Napoli") which, by the time the work was published, was known as The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and covered most of the southern part of the modern day Italy (including Naples), and the island of Sicily. Thus, the type locality is probably the surrounding waters of southern Italy, in the Mediterranean Sea. Hartman (1959: 170), Day (1967: 176), or Dales & Peter (1972: 64) specifically indicate the type locality as being the Gulf of Naples. [details]
