Type locality western Africa, no [location] details, collected Hupfer (Westafrika ohne nähere Angabe; A. Hupfer. )
Augener comments on the collection as follows (translated from page 69) "The large tropical West African collection, which is one of the most important collections of West African marine animals, is largely made up of Captain Hupfer's enormous haul. This collection, the value of which, in contrast to its size, is impaired by poor preservation, was largely obtained by the named collector bringing suitable objects such as stones covered with algae, bryozoa and mussels, lumps of mussels and the like, home and in the museum were searched by Prof. Michaelsen for the polychaetes and other animals sitting on and in them. It is thanks to this collecting method that a large number of the mostly neglected small polychaetes, such as syllids, are included in Hupfers collection. Hupfer's polychaetes were brought up in the littoral region almost exclusively by trawl from sea depths of up to 30 m. The fact that it was collected to such a depth means that forms that are more at home in deeper water can also be found in this collection, such as the polyodontids, the Sthenelais-species and the various ampharetids.
