Houart, R. (1996). On the identity of Morula martensi Dall, 1923 and description of a new species of Ergalatax from the Red Sea (Gastropoda: Muricidae: Ergalataxinae). The Nautilus 110(1): 12-16
Morula martensi Dall, 1923 differs from the similar species Ergalatax margariticola (Broderip, 1833) by having a smaller, narrower and white shell. The species erroneously identified as Ergalatax or Cronia martensi (Dall, 1923) in recent literature is named here as Ergalatax obscura n.sp.
