Ebalia scabriuscula Ortmann 1892

Ebalia scabriuscula Ortmann, 1892 Ebalia scabriuscula — Morton and Morton 1983: 157. Taxonomy: Sakai (1937: only the female specimen, according to Chen and Sun 2002), Chen (1989), Chen and Sun (2002). Type: Holotype ñ MZS 645 (Komai 1999). Type locality: Sagami Bay, Japan. Distribution: South China Sea and East Asia: the Philippines, South and East China Seas, and Japan (Chen and Sun 2002). Habitat: Subtidal; substrates sandy, muddy, shelly; depths 50 to 202 m (Chen and Sun 2002; see Remarks below). Remarks: Many Ebalia species, including the present, inhabit deeper waters (holotype of E. scabriuscula Ortmann, 1892 from depths of 100 fathoms). The only local record of this species was recorded from intertidal habitats, according to Morton and Morton (1983), “… found in more silty sand beaches…” (p. 157). This record is probably incorrect and belongs to another species, but until the specimens can be re-examined, we retain it with doubt.
