Material examined. SERTC 2460, off St Catherines Island, GA, 31º27.42'N, 81º05.46'W, 9 m, coll. MRRI Staff, October 13 2004.
Diagnosis. Medium-sized, burrowing form, up to 150mm. Color in life white to grey. Body barrel-shaped, with distinct, tapering tail. Podia absent. Body wall and tail with ossicles of one type, crossed cups (45–65 μm).
Distribution. SC to E and W FL, TX, Gulf of Mexico, Indo-Pacific.
Habitat. Infaunal, soft, sandy sediment. 0– 10m.
Remarks. The astonishingly broad distribution of this species has led to a re-examination, by various authors, of the taxonomic characters – mostly in the ossicles – and the conclusion that this is a single variable species.
