Etymology Not stated, but for E. exaltatus Marenzeller (1885: 217) described the character of the opercular verticil spines being elevated on a central column (“einer centralen Säule”). The Latin exaltatus ‘(up) lifted’ species group name is perhaps in reference to this. [details]
Type locality East coast of Enoshima Island (“Ostküste der Insel Eno-sima”), Sagami Bay, Honshu, Japan (it is only ~0.5 km long). There is an Enoshima-rettō Island, also off Honshu, but the Sagami Bay Enoshima is most likely. [details]
