Unspecified note
Weckstrom & Juggins (2006: 29) cite the authority for this as (W. Smith) Cleve 1894 and record it from the Gulf of Finland. - (20 June 2006) - G.M. Guiry

Nomenclatural note
Basionym implied, but not cited. Strigilis is a Third Declension Latin noun and is not delinable; thus "strigile" is incorrect. - (11 September 2011) - Salvador Valenzuela Miranda
