For Fleminger (1965, p.124) the identifications of C.B. Wilson (1950) in the eastern Pacific are erroneous.
Its presence is also very doubtful in the N Atlantic and in the Mediterranean.
The species seems to show a high variability (notably of the 5th thoracic segment).
For Mulyadi (2002, p.68) this species has many variations in the peculiar outgrowths of urosomal somites. At least 5 varieties have been described from Indian Ocean: stylifera, gallensis, similis, burmanica and bidens. Previous records from the eastern Pacific (Wilson, 1950) and north-west Atlantic (Giesbrecht & Schmeil, 1898 were a misenditification.
After Jeong & al. (2009, p.517) Giesbrecht (1892) described this species from the Gulf of Napoli, but his male P5 showed minor morphological differences with Koran specimens. In Giesbrecht's figure, the left 2nd exopod has a plumose seta and a nominal seta, while that of the Korean specimen has 2 nominal setae.
