brevidorsalis, Synaphobranchus Günther [A.] 1887:255, Pl. 63 (fig. C) [Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H. M. S. Challenger v. 22 (pt 57); ref. 2013] North of New Guinea, Challenger station 218, depth 1070 fathoms; off Japan, Challenger station 232, depth 345 fathoms. Syntypes: (2) BMNH 1887.12.7.256 (?2).
