Taxonomic note
Tsiamis et al. (2013) remark: "The species was originally described by Miliarakis (1887), with reservations, from Skiathos Island (Aegean Sea). However, it was never recorded since then, neither to the type locality nor from the Aegean Sea, and its taxonomic status remains obscure." Cormaci, Furnari & Alongi (2014: 301) also consider this a "taxon inquirendum". - (11 May 2015) - M.D. Guiry
