Remarks

Traunfelsia sp. was described by Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt (1975). Westheide (1991) conducted a study of the invertebrate meiofauna in the Galapagos archipelago, where he recorded the presence of the species as part of the interstitial fauna. However, he did not make a complete description of the organisms, limiting his determination only to the generic level.
