Type locality Western shore of Flamingo Pond, Simson Bay Lagoon, Saint Martin (Sint Maarten" Dutch, "Saint-Martin" French), northeast Caribbean Sea. Flamingo Pond ( approx 18.0437°, -63.1132°) is no longer a name in use as the location as sampled in 1949 is now infilled, no longer aquatic. The sample station appears to have been under the site of the current terminal building of the Princess Juliana International Airport (named in 1944), ironic as the species is named for Queen Juliana. The Hartman catalogue (1959) wrongly lists the type locality of Pentacirrus juliana as the island of Curacao [details]
Type material possibly lost. Wesenberg-Lund states the material from the project is mainly at Naturalis: "The greater part of the material has been presented to the State Museum of Natural History, Leiden; a few specimens have been deposited in the University Zoological Museum at Copenhagen, the British Museum (Natural History), the U.S. National Museum, the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam and at the Carribbean Marine-Biological Institute on Curacao." [details]

authors' comment: "Pentacirrus julianae Wesenberg-Lung, 1958 described from the Lesser Antilles was not included as it needs to be revised and the type may be a juvenile individual; distribution of feeding tentacles in two rows above several segments resembles those in Protocirrineris species although curved spines are present."
