Biology Montagu (1808) wrote: "This new and interesting species I discovered in the estuary of Kingsbridge, near the Salt stone, but not common, and only uncovered at the lowest ebb of spring tides. The case is buried beneath the surface, and is only discoverable by a small portion above, appearing like a piece of black jelly." [details]Neotype Darbyshire (2023) in an article titled "Designation of a neotype for Myxicola infundibulum (Montagu, 1808)) states her neotype is for Myxicola infundibulum (Montagu, 1808). However, it can only be a neotype for the original combination, Amphitrite infundibulum, that Montagu described and named. The lost type needing replacement can only be that for Montagu's original specimen of Amphitrite infundibulum, and subsequent combinations cannot have neotypes. Darbyshire (2023: 110) explains why two Myxicola specimens listed as Myxicola infundibulum in the Natural History Museum London catalogue, as NHMUK1980.390 and NHMUK1980.391 (currently missing) are probably not Montagu's specimens of Amphitrite infundibulum, although they come from the type locality of Kingsbridge, Devon. Accordingly she designates a neotype for Amphitrite infundibulum (although she does not use that name in reference to her neotype), NMW.Z.2019.023.0001 collected by her from Kingsbridge estuary, Saltstone; 50.2540° N, 3.7588° W; low shore; 1 Oct. 2019.
