From editor or global species database
Editor's comment The recombination to Macroclymene is used by Day (1973) and by Fauchald et al (2009) but without explanation (effectively just checklist entries), therefore, without reasoning support for use of Macroclymene genus, the combination used at WoRMS becomes Clymenella zonalis as proposed by Mangum (1962) [details]
