Remarks.
When describing
Scalpellum nymphocola
Hoek (1883)
noted that this species “comes very near to
Scalpellum angustum
G.O. Sars
”.
Withers (1922)
pointed out that
S. angustum
G. O.
Sars, 1879
was a homonym of
S. angustum
Dixon, 1850
, a fossil. The name
S. sarsi
was proposed as a replacement name by
Withers (1922)
, but
S. nymphocola
is the oldest available name for this taxon.
Hoek (1883)
also mentioned material from HMS “Triton”, Stn 8: Atlantic, Northeast (South of
Faroe Islands
),
1170 m
. The material cannot be located in the NHM collection.
