 Comments
       
  Comment: LSID urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:124803 associated with the scientific name Molpadia oolitica Mortensen, 1914 non Pourtalès, 1851 acquired on 15 October, 2015  
    Deichman (1936) lists Molpadia oolitica sensu Mortensen, 1914 as a synonym of Molpadia borealis M. Sars 1859 and in a footnote explains the missapplication: 'Pourtalès identified a specimen from off Florida as borealis, actually it represented his own oolitica, collected earlier from off Massachussetts. Selenka corrected this, but Ludwig, overlooking the first record of oolitica, listed borealis from Florida as identical with the true Arctic borealis Sars, and placed oolitica as a synonym, and Clark substituted borealis with the older name oolitica, although he felt that it was very unlikely that the Arctic species actually occurred in West Indian waters. M. oolitica seems to be restricted to the western part of the temperate Atlantic, and is entirely different from the Arctic borealis.'
