Etymology Leitoscoloplos mediterranea is named after the Mediterranean Sea. However, mandatory gender agreement requires the specific epithet suffix to be masculine, thus the name should be Leitoscoloplos mediterraneus [details]
Spelling Uncorrected incorrect gender suffix (mediterranea instead of mediterraneus). Leitoscoloplos is masculine so the correct adjective is mediterraneus. [details]
Type locality Levantine Sea, near coast, Turkey, 36.702222°N, 28.732247°E, 45 m, fine sandy mud. [details]
