Editor's comment The usage by Grube (1869: 65) appears to be a nomen nudum with no characters stated that distinguish the Travisia chilensis from other taxa included in the commentary including three other Travisia. Yang et al (2022: 8) state that "According to the original description, T. chinensis has one trifid branchia". However, that comment is not in the original description. Rather it is in Augener, 1922, who examined the Grube specimen, and provides a reasonable description. The location where the worm was collected is not known, but Salazar-Vallejo et al (2014) speculate that it was "probably Shingdao, China". Travisia chinensis is known from the single original specimen, and specimens corresponding to it have not been found in the collection of Travisia deposited in the Marine Biological Museum (MBM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS). A single specimen from Amoy identified by Monro (1934) as Travisia chinensis corresponds to Travisia amoyanus. [details]
