Microspio pigmentata View in CoL .— Johnson, 1984: 6.66–6.67, figs 6.55–6.56.— Maciolek, 1990: 1128 –1130, fig. 8. Spio (Microspio) pigmentata View in CoL .— Foster, 1971a: 35.
Type locality. New Port, California, USA.
Type material. Holotype (LACM-AHF POLY 0605).
Records. USA: off Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, 15–58 m, medium to fine sand, silty very fine sand, silty clayey sand, clayey sand ( Johnson 1984); Florida, (27º33.2´N, 80º02.8´W), 34 m, ( Maciolek 1990). Trinidad and Tobago: Port of Spain.
Remarks. Maciolek (1990) found morphological differences between the holotype and Florida specimens; the holotype has hooded hooks with 2 pairs of teeth and Florida specimens have 3 pairs. However, she considered this a minor difference. We consider these important morphological differences, and an indication that the Florida material represents a different, undescribed species.
