Rem.:

Isaac (1975) suggests that Thaumaleus similirostratus could be the male of this species.
After Grygier & Suarez-Morales (2018, p499) it is possible that the specimen from the Lundy Island area ( off Bristol Channel) from Issac, 1974 as Thaumaleus similirostratus (= Cymbasoma similirostratum) is the male of this species, and proposed to maintain the appellation similirostratum (Isaac, 1974) for this species. (see art. 11.5 and 15.1 in the ICZN.
