Distribution North of New Zealand: off Three Kings Islands; off Northland Peninsula. [details]
Etymology The species is named augeneri after Dr. Hermann Augener (b. Hamburg, 2 October 1872 - d. Hamburg, 5 April 1938), German polychaetologist (see Orbituary at Nature journal), ''who has added so much to our knowledge of New Zealand Polychaeta'' (Benham, 1929: footnote on page 187). [details]

Taxonomy Current taxon junior synonym of species listed. [details]
Type locality Off Three Kings, New Zealand. The species was described with base on specimens collected at three different stations of the British Antarctic ''Terra Nova'' Expedition 1910-1913, but a type locality was not designated. The data of the three stations are as follows: Sta. 123, New Zealand, between North Cape and Doubtless Bay, surface, 19 August 1911 (gazetteer estimate -34.64°, 173.42°); Sta. 129, New Zealand off Three Kings, surface, 26 August 1911 (gazetteer estimate -34.20°, 172.08°); Sta. 131, New Zealand, off Three Kings, surface, 27 August 1911 (gazetteer estimate -34.20°, 172.08°). The geocoordinates were estimated with base on the maps published by Harmer & Lillie (1914. List of collecting stations. British Antarctic (''Terra Nova'') Expedition, 1910 Natural History Reports. Zoology. 2(1): 1-12, 4 maps.) [details]
