Editor's comment Current taxon junior synonym of species listed. Senior primary homonym of Siphonostoma affine Haswell, 1886. See also Pherusa affinis (Leidy, 1855). Although Leidy first used the genus spelling Siphonostomum, that spelling is incorrect and unavailable. [details]
Neotype USNM 8882, collected off Rhode Island about 400 km from the original type locality in New Jersey. No original type material of Leidy is known. [details]
