| Notes | |
Type locality: Type locality designated by neotype locality, 49.1797222, -123.3005556, is Straits of Georgia, Canada.

Strictly Straits of Georgia is beyond Puget Sound, but this seems immaterial given the vague original location of Stimpson's sample [G. Read ed's comment] [details]
Type material: "The original material was deposited in the Smithsonian and later transferred to Chicago when William Stimpson was appointed director of the local Academy of Sciences in 1866, but [...] destroyed in 1871 during the great Chicago fire ..." [details]
