Taxonomy Sternaspis scutata is the oldest named species in the genus.
Distribution Neotype locality off coast of Turkey (see Thalassema scutatus for details). Reported global distributions are unlikely to be correct, but are indicative of the accumulated literature occurrences. Sendall & Salazar-Vallejo (2013 advise: "Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel, 9–36 m depth. Deeper water records from the Eastern Mediterranean (Ben-Eliahu and Fiege 1995) deserve a careful comparison to define if they are conspecific with the shallow water material. Some records from non-Mediterranean or Northeastern Atlantic localities might belong to other, probably undescribed species." [details]

Distribution Noticeably expanding in abundance along the England south coast (Townsend et al. 2006), possibly stemming from assisted introduction to Portland, although natural range expansion is not ruled out.

Neotype (of Thalassema scutatus Ranzani, 1817) RBCM 005-139-001, verbatimGeounit Izmar Bay, Turkey 38... [details]
From editor or global species database
Authority For an explanation of the authorship as Ranzani see Petersen (2000), also Muir & Petersen (2013), also see editor comments under Echinorinchus scutatus Renier, [1804 unpublished] and under Thalassema scutatus Ranzani, 1817. [details]Biology The morphological monograph of Vejdovsky (1882), apparently on S. 'scutata', was based on the species S. thalassemoides Otto according to Sendall & Salazar-Vallejo (2013) [details]
Distribution Neotype locality off coast of Turkey (see Thalassema scutatus for details). Reported global distributions are unlikely to be correct, but are indicative of the accumulated literature occurrences. Sendall & Salazar-Vallejo (2013 advise: "Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel, 9–36 m depth. Deeper water records from the Eastern Mediterranean (Ben-Eliahu and Fiege 1995) deserve a careful comparison to define if they are conspecific with the shallow water material. Some records from non-Mediterranean or Northeastern Atlantic localities might belong to other, probably undescribed species." [details]
Distribution Noticeably expanding in abundance along the England south coast (Townsend et al. 2006), possibly stemming from assisted introduction to Portland, although natural range expansion is not ruled out.
See also Drennan et al (2019) for comments on genetic difference between E Mediterranean and the current English Channel entity, identified as S. scutata [details]
Habitat As currently understood probably shallow water only. [details]
Taxonomy Sternaspis scutata is the oldest named species in the genus. [details]
