“…After the publication of Bourne's (1890) original description of this species from the English Channel, the nominal C. longispinosum has been recorded from many different geographic areas and latitudes including the Mediterranean (Giesbrecht, 1893;Rose, 1933), Norway (Sars, 1921), the Australian coast and Philippines in the southern Pacific (Dakin & Colefax, 1940;Wilson, 1950), the eastern tropical Atlantic, the Red Sea (Gurney, 1927), India (Martin-Thompson, 1973), and Brazil (Dias, 1996;Dias & Bonecker, 2007;Duarte, 1999;Leite et al, 2010;Suárez-Morales et al, 2020, in press). Aside the improbability of a single monstrilloid species being so widely distributed some of these authors noted differences between their specimens and the original description of C. longispinosum.…”
