original description
Gerlach, S. A. (1969). Cateria submersa sp. n., ein cryptorhager Kinorhynch aus dem sublitoralen Mesopsammal der Nordsee. <em>Veröffenlichungen des Instituts für Meeresforschung in Bremerhaven.</em> 12: 161-168. note: Gerlach (1956, p.162) mentioned that he deposited the type material at NSIMB (= Nematodensammlung Institut für Meereskunde, Bremerhaven, Germany) under the catalogue numbers 301a (holotypes), 269b-g ... Gerlach (1956, p.162) mentioned that he deposited the type material at NSIMB (= Nematodensammlung Institut für Meereskunde, Bremerhaven, Germany) under the catalogue numbers 301a (holotypes), 269b-g (11 paratypes on 6 slides), 269h-i (2 nontype juveniles). Later, S. Gerlach donated the paratypes to R.P. Higgins at the USNM. Higgins (1990) and the collection database of USNM reported about Gerlach's previous numbers 301d-g, so "269" probably represented a typographic error by Gerlach.

Etymology [The species name was derived from Latin submersus, submerged in water, and referred to the fact that Gerlach described the first species of Cateria from an intertidal environment, whereas the here described species was found in the sublittoral, submerged.] [details]
