From editor or global species database
Taxonomy De Laubenfels (1936: 114) erected this species on the basis of Dendy's (1924) record of Desmacella vestibularis, which according to him was not conspecific with Wilson's D. vestibularis (as Tylodesma) from the Galapagos. [details]
Type locality New Zealand. De Laubenfels (1936: 114) erroneously stated that Dendy's (1924) specimen originated in the West Indies, while Dendy's text (p. 345) leaves no doubt that he referred to material from New Zealand. There are further mistakes in De Laubenfels' text, where he described the spicule size of the New Zealand specimen, mixing up the data with Wilson's Tylodesma vestibularis . [details]
