Habitat. — Muddy and sandy bottoms (Crane). Velero III records 

 show sand and rock, sand and shell, sand and algae, and two stations: 

 "coral, nullipore, and rock." 

 Depth. — 5-60 fms. 



Remarks. — A Galapagos Island specimen of this species, identified by 

 its author. Miss Rathbun, was the first indication that Gulf of California 

 Cymopolias might be expected in the Galapagos archipelago. Since that 

 time two other Gulf species, C. fragilis Rathbun and C. cortezi Crane, as 

 well as a new species, C. velerae Garth, have been found to occur in the 

 Galapagos Islands. 



C. lucasii is now recorded from the Galapagos Islands.
