From editor or global species database
Authority This was a recombination, not a new taxon. The authorship is (Schmarda), not Kinberg as usually seen. [details]
Depth range 2-3 fathoms (3.6 to 5.5 m). [details]
Habitat Amongst rhizoids of fucoids, at shallow water. [details]
Synonymy Due to an early misunderstanding of Kinberg's recombination entry by Saint-Joseph, followed by subsequent authors, the name was mistakenly listed as a junior homonym of Polycirrus chilensis Schmarda, 1861 in Glasby & Hutchings (2014:115). It is clear in Kinberg that he was recombining Schmarda's species, not creating a new species. This also makes it understandable why no separate type material exists. The only material is Schmarda's Valparaiso holotype. [details]
