Etymology Grube doesn't give an etymology, but the species group name of 'serratibranchis' is evidently a reference to the serrated radioles he describes. Grube is overwhelmingly the main user in WoRMS of '-branchis' as part of a descriptive adjective for gill morphology. It is not a dictionary word. [details]
Type locality Philippines. No location within the Philippines is given. Grube lists his taxa together often with their locations in his introductory text, but he evidently has no location available to report for S. serratibranchis (page vi) [details]
