Note.

This species is retained in the genus Dynamene (in original combination) and listed as "taxon inquirendum" in WoRMS ( Boyko et al. 2008 onwards). Thus, the correct generic status of this species is still in question. Since Richardson (1899; 1905) and subsequent authors provided only a brief description with a figure of the whole body, a morphological revision is required to correctly place this species.

Type locality.

Monterey Bay, California.
