From editor or global species database
Distribution Restricted to Arctic and subarctic localities (Blake, 2009). In CaRMS reported from Saguenay Fjord, northern Gaspe waters, downstream part of middle St. Lawrence estuary, Magdalen Islands (from eastern Bradelle valley to the west, as far as Cape North, including the Cape Breton Channel), lower St. Lawrence estuary; Prince Edward Island (from the northern tip of Miscou Island, N.B. to Cape Breton Island south of Cheticamp, including the Northumberland Strait and Georges Bay to the Canso Strait causeway); Cobscook Bay [details]Etymology The specific epithet capitata means having or forming a head. [details]
Neotype A neotype can only be to replace the missing type of the original name, in this case Lumbricus capitatus Fabricius, 1780. Thus see the record for Lumbricus capitatus for details of its neotype as created by Blake (2009). [details]
Type locality Neotype designated from specimen from 20m from Affarlikassâ Fjord, Mârmorilik, West Greenland, 71° 6.5' N, 51° 17' W (71.108333°, -51.283333°) (lat/long as given, but this location appears to be terrestrial. In Geolocator the station longitude from author's map appears to be 51 deg 14' W, or -51.2330, and this matches the longitude recorded in the ZMUC database, for record NHMD109750). [details]
