From editor or global species database
Authority McIntosh (1885: 225) strangely headlines this name as "Nereis kerguelensis, Baird ?" because he links his specimen with "an imperfect specimen collected at Kerguelen by the 'Antarctic' Expedition and presented to the British Museum by the Admiralty, though no description by Dr. Baird has yet been found". Evidently McIntosh was unsure if an already published description by Baird existed. There is no such description so McIntosh's two specimens are syntypes of a new species name of which McIntosh is author. [details]Depth range 30 fathoms (= about 55 m). [details]
Diet "In the intestine is muddy debris containing long sponge-spicules, fragments of Radiolarians, a few Gregarine (parasitic), fragments of Algae, often with groups of chlorophyll-granules, and many Diatoms" (McIntosh, 1885: 227). [details]
Distribution Subantarctic Indian Ocean: Kerguelen Islands. [details]
Etymology Not stated. The species is obviously named after its type locality, the Kerguelen Islands. [details]
Habitat Volcanic mud, at shelf depths. [details]
Type locality The two specimens are from two Kerguelen localities, one dredged "off Kerguelen, in 10-100 fathoms, and the other from 30 fathoms "West of Cape Maclear" (= Cap Mac Lear), Kerguelen Islands, Subantarctic Indian Ocean (-49.6167°, 70.2667°). [details]
