Type locality Southern California, but not known precisely. Moore (1910) reports he had no station number for the specimen, and gives no location, whereas his practice in his report was, for each species, to give a station number, plus a named location, plus a latitude and longitude, and depth. The USNM collection record for the holotype gives their "precise locality' field as San Diego Bay, but there cannot be any foundation to this entry, as Moore did not have any location data, and gives no collection date for the specimen. Pettibone (1969) also confirms the type locality is unknown. The Albatross sampled both off the Monterey region and off the San Diego region. However, if the month date of the USNM collection record is genuine, and not invented, then it is possible the holotype comes from the general region of San Diego. [details]

Holotype USNM 17385, geounit California [details]
From editor or global species database
Habitat Hartman (1961: 54) reports Sthenelanella uniformis is "very commonly taken in grab samples from shelf and slope depths of southern California, especially from silts, mixed bottoms, and in ophiuriod associations. Specimens are encased in long, branched mucoid tubes which are removed from the animal with difficulty, and may measure 5 times as long as the specimen; the branches consist of lateral extensions of the main shaft of somewhat smaller diameter. Larger tubes are 10 to 15 cm long and 5 to 7 mm across.  [details]

Identification Tilic et al (2021:11 of 12) and Struck et al (2005: 246) report different molecular sequences for Sthenelanella uniformis, but it is not yet clear what has caused this mismatch. The view of Tilic et al is that they have not misidentified their specimen. [details]
