From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Augener is uncertain if the specimen he describes and calls Lepidonotus yorkianus is the same specimen previously named Polynoe contaminata by Grube (1876). Hartman catalogue (1959: 100) places Polynoe contaminata as "questionably Lepidonotus yorkianus" but this is not possible as P. contaminata is the senior name. [details]
Type locality Cape York, Australia [details]
