Etymology Not stated. 'solutus' is an adjective meaning free, unfettered, loose, unbound, and 'secus' is a comparative adjective meaning inferior or worse. If those are the Latin words intended then the significance intended by Hoagland for their combination is a matter of conjecture. [details]
Specimen Smithsonian Institution, Washington, USNM 19013, poorly preserved (fide Knight-Jones & Perkins, 1998) [details]
Spelling Tovar-Hernández et al (2020) point out the original spelling should have been 'secusoluta' for gender agreement with Sabella if 'secusolutus' is adjectival. [details]
Type locality Sombrero Island, Philippines, 290 m (159 fathoms). Apparently no geolocation is known for the ship station as later revisors do not give one. The island itself, at 13.1425° N, 122.8444° E, is very small and situated north of Burias Island. [details]
