Type locality Read et al (2016: 18) "Unknown, not certain to be off namesake Florida. When Ehlers (1887: 286) described the Polychaeta collected from voyages of Coast Survey Steamer “Blake” he wrote in his native German but recorded the two locations for the Eupomatus specimens literally in English as “inside fishing ground Cape Rear” and also “off W. down Cape Dear Rio” (both at 7 fathoms). However, these place-names seem to be misreadings as they could not be found in the Caribbean or Florida, nor do the “Blake” voyage reports include the names. The similarity of names suggests the location is possibly off Cape Fear, North Carolina, with its associated Cape Fear (Rio) River, disregarding that Ehlers’ monograph title appears to exclude Atlantic coast voyages the “Blake” also made. As the types are believed lost the original label cannot be checked. No specimens are currently listed in the Yale Peabody Museum online catalogue although Bush (1910: 498) earlier saw a mass of several hundred tubes, indicating an aggregation." [details]

Taxonomy new name proposed in text by Bush for Eupomatus uncinatus sensu Ehlers, 1887, an identification as Philippi's E. uncinatus by Ehlers. Bush introduced the name as follows: "Eupomatus Floridanus nom. nov. for E. uncinatus Ehlers, 1887 (non Philippi, 1844), from 7 fathoms off Cape Dear Rio, Florida, has 11 very long, much curved spines with inner basal spinule on upper cup and about 30 deep points on edge of lower one. This does not agree with the operculum of E. uncinatus from the Mediterranean (a. fact mentioned by Ehlers)." [details]
