From editor or global species database
Type locality Xiamen City (was Amoy), China, estimated coast geolocation 24.43°,118.07°, depth unknown. Lui et al (2018) give the geolocation for Xiamen as 24.27°N, 118.04°E but this is incorrect as it is terrestrial and some kilometres south of Xiamen which is a port city. [details]
Type material Only known from the holotype (fide Liu et al. 2018) [details]

Homonymy If Marphysa orientalis (Willey, 1905) is truly a Marphysa then Marphysa orientalis (Treadwell, 1936) is a junior secondary homonym to it and needs a replacement name. Treadwell's species is 'accepted' in WoRMS only in the sense that there is no other name to use. [details]
