From editor or global species database
Type locality San Diego, California, USA, Pacific Ocean (gazetteer estimate 32.542°, -117.126°), low water. According to Moore (1909: 235), "The localities at which the collections were made are limited to two, namely [...] San Diego, chiefly on a sand-bar in the bay, near the southern boundary of California, where Prof. E. C. Starks collected during 1902 and 1903. At both places the collecting was nearly limited to the littoral zone between tide limits, though a few dredgings were also made." [details]

Etymology Not stated by the author, uncertain. The specific epithet gordiodes may be derived from the genus of very long and very thin horsehair worms Gordius Linnaeus, 1758 (Nematomorpha), presumably referring to the general habitus of the species, described as being "an elongated and slender species" (Moore, 1909: 278).
