Remarks.

In Löser et al. (2013 c), these specimens were assigned to Polytremacis vermiculata (Felix, 1903 b) , but afterwards it was possible to examine the type material of Heliopora radiata (d’Orbigny, 1850) and to take more detailed measurements in the (only) syntype of Heliopora vermiculata that show that both species differ in their dimensions.

Other occurrences.
