Remarks.

Dasybranchus lumbricoides was described from the Philippine Islands and Fauchald (1972) reported it for Carmen Island in the Gulf of California. Upon examination of Fauchald's specimens it was determined that they were actually Notodasus harrisae García-Garza et al. 2009. This was also the case for material identified as Dasybranchus lumbricoides by Hartman (1947) from Corona del Mar, Newport Harbor The record of Hartman 1947 from Tiburón Island was not available for examination and we believe that her identification should also be considered doubtful.
