Remarks:
This originally, poorly diagnosed species was redescribed by
Kristensen & Higgins (1984a)
based on
type
material. However, the
type
material was in poor condition and therefore not all morphological details were visible. This species needs further redescription based on new material from the
type
locality, and it has recently been reported near the
type
locality. It is an intertidal species known only from the Celtic Sea.
