Environment marine, brackish, fresh, terrestrial
Fossil range recent only
Notes  Species uncertain [details]

Taxonomy: Questionably attributed to Sclerostyla ctenactis, see Mörch (1863: 450) and ten Hove (1973 :12), but also questionably associated by Mörch (p.406) with Spirobranchus dendropoma. [details]

Type locality: Locality unknown, although Gmelin apparently used Schröter's "Seeschlange" (1783: 569, pl.VI fig.18) for his description, and this worm was found in an Eastindian Balanus tintinnabulum. The taxon tintinnabulum, however, has a long history of being ship transported. [details]
