From editor or global species database
Type locality Durville Island off northern South I (approximately -40.9119° 173.8319°), and Maunganui, NW Chatham I, New Zealand, collected by Schauinsland. Both original collection locations are not obviously estuarine, but the species today is mostly known from New Zealand estuaries [details]

Taxonomy Zhadan (2020: 455) describes Australian Scoloplos cylindrifer. She rejects the transfer to Leodamas by Blake (2017) of the species he placed in his Leodamas group B which included S. cylindrifer. Blake group B includes species with branchiae on the posterior thoracic chaetigers or anterior abdominal chaetiger (12–40) and thoracic neuropodial uncini in 1–2 vertical rows. See also genus Leodamas for comments on the distinction between Leodamas and Scoloplos. [details]
