From editor or global species database
Type locality Pacific Grove, southern Monterey Bay, California, estimated coastal geolocation 36.6207 -121.9032. Chamberlin states in his introduction that all his material comes from Pacific Grove. [details]
Type material Fauchald (1992:132) reports there is no type material of Leodice enteles at MCZ. However, earlier Hartman (1938: 95 ) in her new species from California article writes "Through the courtesy of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard it has been possible to study typical parapodia of the holotypes of Leodice enteles Chamberlin (figs. 8, 9)". This may indicate she saw already-mounted slides. However, she does not mention this material in her review of MCZ types of the same year (1938), and has no mention of Leodice enteles [details]

Status Moniliform antennae therefore best retained as a Leodice.There are no original figures and types are lost. Fauchald regarded the species as indeterminable. Apparently it is similar to Leodice monilifer Chamberlin, 1919, but that name is also indeterminable as a species according to Fauchald, as the type is similarly lost. [details]

page(s): 116; note: Hartman includes Leodice enteles in records for Eunice antennata off California. Fauchald (1992) regarded these E. antennata records as misidentications, in part presumably truly of Leodice enteles. [details]
