Type locality [by A.M.C.]. There is some doubt about the exact type locality of 

 this species, whether it is Blake station 150 or 151. Carpenter based the species on 

 specimens from five Blake stations and one Challenger station but said that the best 

 one (1881, pi. 1, fig. 1) was from Blake station 151. Hartlaub in 1912 gave photographs 

 of this specimen (pi. 14, figs. 1 and 2 (pt.) which he captioned as the "Original- 

 Exemplar") and of the two others which were all that reached him from Blake stations 

 150 and 260 (the latter also designated "Original-Exemplar"). The specimen from 

 station 151 appears to be the only one with stumps of cirri remaining attached to the 

 centrodorsal, and so must be the specimen which H. L. Clark called the holotype 

 in 1941, comparing it with an Atelecrinus taken by the Atlantis. Unfortunately,
