Type locality. Australia, 110 fathoms deep (201 m), off Beachport .

Type material. SAM D.13449 , lectotype. NHMUK 1910.3.29.39 , paralectotype .

Distribution. Australia ( Verco 1909; Cotton & Godfrey 1931; Cotton 1959; Marshall 1983; Chang & Wu 2005; Albano et al. 2019), Australia, Tasmania ( May 1910; May 1921; May 1923; May 1958; Marshall 1983), China Sea ( Zongguo & Mao 2012), Taiwan ( Chang & Wu 2005; Chang 2006c).

Remarks. The holotype report by Marshall (1983) should be considered a lectotype ( Albano et al. 2019). Marshall (1983) noted: “Verco based his description of the basal features of Hypotriphora subula ( Verco, 1909) on a specimen of Inella spina ”. In AMS, there are specimens marked as”“ paratypes ” (C.31099). However, these specimens were not clearlydesignated by Marshall (1983) nor we have evidence of their status from thecollection since we did not inspect it personally. Therefore, we do not listthem here in the type material.
