Syntype USNM 4793, geounit Bermuda Islands [details]
From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Referred previously to M. sanguinea but valid fide Molina-Acevedo & Carrera-Parra (2015) [details]
Type locality Bermuda 32.33, -64.75 fide USNM database. This appears to be subtidal. Webster (1884) gave no geolocation or locality name, and the signs are that he had no collection information on any of the Bermudan material he described. It is not clear how the USNM's geolocation was obtained. No information is in the online record. Molina-Acevedo & Carrera-Parra (2015) present the USNM's 32.33, -64.75 as 32°19'48.11" N 64°44'59.98" but the decimal seconds are spurious. As DMS it would be simply 32° 19′ 48″ N, 64° 45′ 0″ W.
