SUMMARY
Cutler (1967) briefly mentioned a subpopulation of Phascolion, distinct from P. strombus but he did not completely describe or name it (Cutler, 1967 in his unpublished doctoral dissertation, later published in 1973). This worm was described from 286 specimens from 18 stations of the R/V Eastward, collected by Sanders, Hessler and Hampson (1965).
