From editor or global species database
Editor's comment A reliable description of 'Clymenella zonalis' has not been found, although it evidently has several usages in ecological reports. As noted under the original description record it is close to a nomen nudum. The brief original description in Verrill (1874) that follows in a figure caption on p.505 [plates not published, and only some in Hartman, 1944] is "Plate 6, figure 2. Casco Bay, 8 to 20 fathoms; anterior and posterior portions, enlarged 4 diameters. This species has 22 setigerous segments and the circular bands of color on the anterior portion are bright red". It is not clear how Mangum (1962:7) worked out the morphology of this species since she cites no figures in Verrill or elsewhere. No other detailed taxonomy reports have been found. It is not clear if any original Verrill specimens exist. However, Mangum was confident she knew what it was, and deposited her own specimens in the Yale Peabody Museum. This species name is unreliable and requires further investigation. [details]Unreviewed
