type locality contained in Uruguay-Buenos Aires Shelf [details]
Type material Ridley & Dendy mention two rather widely diverging localities for three type specimens of Myxilla nobilis. As far as we know, no lectotype has been selected until now (2020). Two specimens from the Challenger Expedition are listed in the online catalogue of the Natural History Museum, here considered syntypes. [details]
