Distribution 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. [details]
