Type material: * Holotype / Syntype (MNHN-IA TYPE 0 565), * Paratype (MNHN-IA 12675), * Syntypes (MNHN- IA TYPE 0548), (MNHN-IA TYPE 0549), (MNHN-IA TYPE 0550), (MNHN-IA TYPE 0551), (MNHN-IA TYPE 0552), (MNHN-IA TYPE 0569) .

Type locality: Eastern Atlantic, France, Pays Basque, St. Jean de Luz, January 0 1, 1902 .

Records: Eastern Atlantic from the French coast (Fauvel 1927), Galicia (Amoureux 1972) and Bay of Biscay (Campoy 1982; Aguirrezabalaga 1984) to Senegal and Cape Verde Islands (Núñez et al. 1999).

Remarks: According to García-Garza & de León-González (2015), Notomastus exsertilis presents different morphological characters from those described in the generic definition. This species presents 10 thoracic chaetigers with capillaries on noto- and neuropodia, and the first and second abdominal segments with capillaries. It is included in the catalogue until new studies, preferably based on a phylogenetic approach, support its exclusion and translocation into another genus, or its permanency within Notomastus .
