(mentioned only).
Distribution
Santa Cruz Island,
Galapagos
Archipelago,
Ecuador
.
Habitat
Interstitial (coarse intertidal sediments) or rocks.
Remarks
Faubel (1983)
considered
C. nexa
as a species incertae sedis; arguing that
Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt (1975)
only made a partial description of the species, based on external morphological characteristics; they only described an elongated and slender body shape and the distribution of eyes spots. The present study suggests a complete description of the species.
