Type locality Author states San Diego rather than San Diego Bay as the collection site. It is not known that the worms were collected on the shore, but this is likely with Scolelepis, and the geolocation is thus approximated as 32.6826, -117.1869 (or nearby). [details]
Depth range Not stated, probably shallow water.
Distribution Pacific coast of the USA: San Diego (California).
Etymology Not stated in the original description. The specific epithet acuta is a Latin participle meaning 'sharpened', and refers...
Taxonomy Spio acuta has undergone several recombinations, but is long considered to be what is now a Scolelepis, and not a Spio.
