No account has been taken of the localities between brackets in the table of synthesis. May be confused with C. giesbrechti notably in the Mediterranean Sea.
The locality records established by C.B. Wilson would be erroneous (Fleminger & Bowman, 1956, p.332).
The records from the eastern Chinese Sea (in Shih & Young, 1995) and in Japan ( Tanabe Bay by Yamazi, 1958, and Nagazaki by Anraku & Azeta, 1965) are to be confirmed.
Species regarded as an indicator of water of Atlantic origin in the North Sea.
After S.B. Schnack (1989) the Itoh's index value of mandibular gnathobase = 1879.
